Stoffer never imagined seeing herself on TV, as her story didn’t fit the traditional TV format. But Chip and Joanna Gaines had a different vision for their network. “They wanted to inspire people with stories that are authentic and uplifting,” Stoffer says, emphasizing how Magnolia Network’s upcoming programming will hopefully encourage viewers to find and explore a new area of interest. And it was Joanna Gaines herself who guided Stoffer through the production of this show: “[Joanna] has been very encouraging and inspires me to keep going, work hard, think of others more than myself… and faithfully, with kindness, make beautiful work.”
Currently, Magnolia Network: A Look Ahead Vol. 2 is streaming, which includes a sneak peek at Jean Stoffer Design as well as some of the network’s other upcoming series. You can also catch Stoffer in the pilot episode of Point of View: A Designer Profile, a Magnolia Network exclusive that interviews designers in a docu-series format about their creative processes and the inspirations and influences that shape their work.
