Claudia and Christian met at Northumbria University, where they both studied Three Dimensional Design in Furniture and Products. Through various creative endeavours; their love for art, design, and simply making things formed a strong friendship. Alongside their final major projects at Northumbria University, the development of numerous collaborative projects were also underway. Projects spanned through ceramics, jewellery and furniture design. The progression, motivation and positivity of working collaboratively strengthened each others focus, growing their creative pastimes into something more legitimate: PHAT Design Studio.
