“I needed help with designing something that was both functional and beautiful. She designed and built everything- storage bench, custom fabric cushion, drawers to hide baby stuff, and shelves. Yoori hit it out the park and I would highly recommend her for any custom projects.”
— Camilla J“Yoori is an inspired and inventive designer who is completely dedicated to the process of art creation. She took the time to interview and consult me and ensure that she accurately captured the vision that I had. She expertly balanced her own ideas and imagination against my own, suggesting improvements that I would otherwise have not considered, all the while keeping the larger concept in perspective. I highly recommend commissioning Yoori for your next project - her care and attention to detail are second to none.”
— Steve D“Yoori has been a DREAM to work with. So patient and responsive and talented! We had a crazy idea to build this shoe rack and had never seen anything like it and Yoori nailed it!! She took every detail into account and was super patient while I figured out what stain and what wood grain we wanted (as someone who has never designed a piece of furniture or worked with wood before!)”

-
We start by exploring your space, how you live in your space and dive into your requirements and dreams. We start with a complementary consultation call to check for fit and this will be followed by an in-home visit.
-
This is where we get to ideate, come up with solutions, narrow down colors, materials, dimensions and finishes. We will guide you through the process!
-
Often times a big chunk of the build happens off-site. We will work with you to schedule the right time for installation. Our team is of experts is respectful to your home and treats it as their own.
Our Story
After almost 20 years in corporate, Yoori made a return to where her journey first started - in design.
Of Korean descent, she grew up in Germany where she went to university to study architecture before switching to business. Her career took her across countries and continents before she met her husband in Austin, TX.
Together, they started upgrading their own home, offering their services to neighbors and friends then soon after started HANDWERK. Through Handwerk, they are honored to be part of their clients’ homes, designing and fabricating spaces that fit their unique needs and that follow a distinct warm modern aesthetic.
