Meet the founder

Built from within the community.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Poppe. You may also know me as Poppe Tsunami.

Cirque studios and performances, movement events and festivals, technology, and design have all been part of my life for years, and they still are. I started Motif because I know how much work happens behind the scenes. I want to make some of that work easier, starting with ticketing and events.
