Katherine Yoon is a multi-medium artist and industrial designer whose work bridges art, technology, and ecology. Concentrating in Computer Technology and Culture (CTC), she explores the intersections of digital systems, design ethics, and material storytelling. With a strong mechanical aptitude and a well-rounded skill set, Katherine is dedicated to creating work that resonates with her heritage and environment.
Her practice includes a focus on sustainable and locally-sourced materials—most notably, golden bamboo, an invasive species in the United States. By reclaiming and transforming this material, she challenges conventional industrial processes and offers alternative narratives about ecology, colonialism, and sustainability. Her diverse portfolio spans consumer goods, concept development, and marketing materials, reflecting her belief in design as both a cultural and functional act. Katherine’s pieces are deeply informed by her lived experience, earning her recognition for their thoughtfulness and ingenuity across disciplines.
