When Georgia founded Pōtiki Poi at age 12, she set out to create authentic, handcrafted poi while forging a meaningful pathway for our whānau.

Over eight years later, Georgia is pursuing her lifelong passion as a visual artist through her new venture, Tuakana Toi. As Georgia expands her creative horizons, her artistic roots remain woven into our foundations.

Pōtiki Poi remains grounded in what matters most: whānau, culture, and connection. Api continues to be our central drive and inspiration, the heartbeat that motivates us every day to ensure our workshop doors stay open, our poi keep spinning, and our community stays connected to our traditions.

Pōtiki Poi is, and always will be, a celebration of resilience, creativity, and whanaungatanga. Thank you for walking this journey with us and supporting our growing whānau story.
