Hyunjoo is the founder and creator of Studio Vignette Collective. Her journey as a maker started when she studied for a bachelor's in fine arts, concentrating in Fiber at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. That is where she learned how to weave for the first time. Her love for textiles grew deeper when she discovered that her grandmother was also a weaver. She took some turns studying Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in New York but making objects with her hands brought her most joy. She loves to experiment with various materials and techniques to tell her stories. She currently works as an art instructor in Seattle and continues to create more work.
