What started seven years ago as a dream in my Dunedin lounge has grown into a proud legacy. I founded Pōtiki Poi when I was just 12 years old, driven by a deep passion to share the whakapapa of poi with the world.

Today, as I enter my final year of university to focus on my mahi toi and Pōtiki Poi has found a new home in the mighty Waikato. While I am busy with my degree and my art, the business remains a true whānau affair, run from home with the same heart and heritage that started it all.

Seven years on, we are still here, still handmade, and still dedicated to ensuring our taonga are celebrated by every generation.
