Yuri Miller was born in Chicago, before moving out to the Northern suburbs in her youth. She grew up in a Christian home and came to know Christ as a teenager after walking through a season of depression and anxiety. Through that experience, she discovered the hope, healing, and purpose that can only be found in Jesus, and it sparked a desire to use her life and gifts to point others to Him.
From an early age, Yuri loved creating. Whether she was drawing, painting, taking photographs, or making (admittedly embarrassing) YouTube videos, creativity became one of the primary ways she expressed herself. After graduating from high school, she attended Trinity Christian College, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. She began her career as a corporate graphic designer, after a couple years, she sensed God calling her to use her creative gifts for something with eternal impact.
During this season, she became more involved by serving at 180, which eventually led her to join the staff as the Creative Media Coordinator. She now has the privilege of helping tell the story of what God is doing through 180. She is passionate about using creativity and storytelling to point people to Jesus and communicate the life-changing hope of the gospel. When she's not designing or behind a camera, Yuri enjoys wheel throwing, exploring coffee and boba shops with her husband Kit, trying new recipes from The New York Times, visiting art galleries, and hiking.
