Christine grew a love for art and design early in life—since drawing her first stick figure at 5 years old. This moment comes full circle when the stick figure becomes a source of inspiration, along with her Korean heritage, for her logo. “유” mimics the shape of a human figure, and is how her last name “Yoo” is spelled in Korean.
She has an affinity towards furniture design, interiors, graphic design, and story telling. Christine’s wardrobe may consist of 50 shades of black, however she loves utilizing color in her work. She often finds herself stuck between the juxtaposition of two ideas, just like her fashion and visual design style. Her approach to her designs typically begin with a source of inspiration, heavy research and hands-on experimentation. She believes taking cues from the discoveries made in the process is imperative, and allows her work to manifest organically.
Her innate curiosity, playful nature, admiration of earth, and values in the handcraft are core factors that shape her as a designer. She considers herself a jack of all trades, building a bridge across various disciplines. Her strong work ethic and attention to detail enables her to create functional, personable, and intentional designs.
Christine graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Product (Industrial) Design and a minor in Communication Design. Her experience living in NYC gave her the strong foundation she needed to grow as a designer. Currently, she is based in Atlanta, GA and works for BRADLEY USA.
