About Christie Younger

Christie Younger is a North Carolina native with roots in Chapel Hill, Boone, and Raleigh, now living in Wilkesboro. She is an artist, partner of Fruit of the Vine Boutique, and co-founder of CB Co Brands, home of The Charm Bar Company and other growing ventures.

She studied biology at Appalachian State University, though she’ll always be a Tar Heel at heart. Her path didn’t follow a straight line, but creativity found its way into everything she does.

Christie is an active, in-demand oil painter known for her use of color, texture, and expressive detail, with work represented in galleries across the country. She splits her time between her work as an artist, homeschooling her three children, and helping build and grow the business alongside her partners.

Her style, both in art and fashion, leans classic with a twist—slightly preppy, a little bold, and never afraid of something unexpected. She’s drawn to pieces that feel personal, unique, and easy to live in.

Christie joined forces in with Beth and Ashley in 2024 through a shared love of entrepreneurship, creativity, and giving back. What started as friendship quickly turned into partnership, and the three now work side by side building something meaningful together. They share big dreams and genuinely love both the work and the time spent doing it together.

Outside of work, Christie loves to travel, be outside in the sunshine with her animals, watch her her kids play sports, be with friends and family, and ride horses. She and her husband Travis—who she has been with since 2004—are building a life on family land just outside of town, slowly building their farm and a life that feels a little more simple, even if it’s still full.
