Mary-Ann a commencé à fabriquer du savon pour soigner les sensibilités cutanées de son fils, ce qui a éveillé sa passion pour la fabrication de produits pour le bain et le corps, en particulier les bombes de bain. Constatant le manque de moules uniques sur le marché canadien, elle a investi dans une imprimante 3D et s'est lancée dans un voyage créatif qui a donné lieu à plus de 1 500 modèles novateurs. Elle a lancé la toute première boîte d'abonnement Bath Bomb Makers, qui propose 66 thèmes. Son entreprise a introduit le moule Bombshell, les colorants Breaking the Rainbow et a popularisé le terme "hybride" dans l'industrie. Mary-Ann continue d'inspirer les créateurs et de développer de nouveaux produits.
