This week we’re chatting with the founders of Atelier Cho Thompson, a multi-disciplinary design and concept firm based in San Francisco and New Haven. Founders Christina Cho Yoo and Ming Thompson met on the first day of grad school at Harvard?s Graduate School of Design and have been collaborating on projects ever since.

Cho and Thompson have been curators, bakers, artists, and teachers, and the women draw from their varied experiences to shape the design work created by Atelier Cho Thompson.
