Pixel+Em is the online home of Christine Yom—a New York-based digital product designer who has an ongoing love affair with UI design. Since the pioneering days of late 90's dot-coms, she has worked on a wide range of content-rich consumer sites and complex data-driven online applications. Her expertise in visual branding, usablity, and Web technologies provide the foundation for elegant visual design solutions, intuitive interfaces and engaging user experiences.
After earning her B.S. in Marketing from NYU's Stern School of Business, she traded in her business spreadsheets for typographic comps at Parsons the New School for Design, where she completed a certificate program in Graphic Design. A fortuitous internship at America Online in 1999 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 baker/writer, who's obsessed with her MacBook, interior DIY solutions, recipe blogs, polka dots and making lists. She can frequently occasionally be spotted eating cereal straight out of the box.
