  Rio Crandall

  Co-Founder / Creative Director

  Some careers are chosen. Rio's was inherited — and then reimagined. Raised in a family landscape business, she learned the industry from the ground up. After completing her degree at Chapman University, she returned home to help lead the company — until it sold, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of something harder to define. Rather than step away, Rio went deeper. From 2018 to 2022, she joined a landscape architecture firm, where she built out the construction and maintenance division from the ground up. It was formative work — the kind that sharpens both skill and perspective. Isabel Stone Studios was born from that full arc of experience, and from a belief that the landscape industry was ready for something different. A studio where creative vision and operational excellence aren't in tension. Where the client experience is as considered as the design itself. Where a strong team culture isn't a byproduct of success, but the engine of it. As co-founder, Rio leads with intention — building the systems, standards, and culture that allow Isabel Stone to do its best work, and to keep raising the bar for what this industry can be.
