My name is Christine. I'm a user interface engineer and designer at JustThrive.com in New York City. I design and build primarily using (X)HTML, CSS, Photoshop and Illustrator. PHP, MySQL, Javascript and Flash also make appearences. I like text editors, Macs, and clean, effective design.

Client: Bang on a Can
Project: Design a new look for the 2009 Bang On A Can Marathon contest card (Illustrator).
In 2004, some friends and I began shooting a half-bio half-tour film about the Wrens. The first few months of production culminated in the creation of this 10-minute promo, which I cut in late 2004 at the request of the band's label, Absolutely Kosher Records. It was slated for inclusion on a DVD to be put out by the London Sun Times in the UK, but the entire DVD project was later scrapped. The promo lives here now, and the feature-length film is currently in post-production.
Besides grad student and web designer, in past lives I've been a filmmaker, a marketing assistant, a rock club lackey, a first-chair violinist, an occasional Pitchfork photographer, and most recently, an even more occasional member of the Capstan Shafts. I love rock music, puppy dogs, and stand-up comedy. I keep a pack of Sloan trading cards in my desk drawer, and my favorite book of all time is, of course, the ultimate argument-settler: "Rock, Rot & Rule" by Ronald Thomas Clontle.
