Who She Is
Pixel+Em is powered by Christine Yom — a New York-based web/UI/graphic designer and sometimes HTML/CSS wrangler. Since the pioneering days of late 90's dot-coms, she has worked on a range of content-rich consumer sites and data-driven online applications. With expertise in visual branding, usablity, and Web technologies, she creates effective design solutions for intuitive user experiences.
After earning her B.S. in marketing from the Stern School of Business at NYU, she traded in the spreadsheets for typographic comps at Parsons the New School for Design, where she completed a certificate program in graphic design. A fortuitous internship at AOL was her initiation into the World Wide Web. She's been hooked ever since.
Offline, she's a food lover, crafting geek and secretly aspiring writer, who's obsessed with her Macbook, 30 Rock, polka dots and making lists. She can occasionally be spotted eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.
