About
Marion Poggioli: host, creator & executive producer
Marion spent over a decade mastering the art of observation as a designer and ethnographic researcher for world-renowned design agencies before turning her attention toward America’s most dedicated makers.
Now based in San Francisco, she takes us inside the workshops of artisans, craftspeople, and builders preserving traditional skills across the United States, revealing the human stories embedded in the act of making.
Her mission is not only to highlight the people who build with intentionality and preserve the cultural heritage of the United States but also to reveal the true impact craftsmanship has on human life in an increasingly digital world.
