Creative lives rarely unfold in straight lines.
Most artists spend years between early discovery and lasting recognition, experimenting, refining, questioning, and rebuilding their practice as they move forward.
Piperlime Studio exists to explore that space, the evolving process of artists who are still in the making.
In the Making is a Piperlime Studio podcast.
Each episode brings together working creatives reflecting on their process, influences, and the realities of sustaining a creative life. Conversations move between craft and philosophy, tracing how artists evolve through their work.
Guests include performers, photographers, musicians, filmmakers, and other makers whose work spans disciplines but shares a commitment to craft and creative inquiry.
Piperlime Studio was founded by Michele Mauviel, a creative director working at the intersection of storytelling, digital publishing, and media production.
For more than two decades she has worked in web design, digital strategy, and narrative media, helping organizations and creators bring ideas to life through thoughtful structure and design.
Through Piperlime Studio she documents artists and creative thinkers at pivotal moments in their work.
