About

Artifact makes it easy to record stories with the most important people in your life. We set them up with a professional interviewer through our marketplace and we make it easy, from scheduling interviews to delivering a polished edit that wouldn’t sound out of place on NPR. We then host their stories in shareable, interactive listening experiences.

George Quraishi

Co-founder / COO

I'm a former writer and editor, and I taught myself to make podcasts while working on Howler, the small but mighty soccer mag I founded and ran for seven years. This is what led me to helping to form Artifact. I'm an eighth-gen Floridian on my mom's side and a first-gen American on my dad's, and I live in Tampa with my wife, two kids, and two poodles.
