ABOUT
Christine is an animator and illustrator by profession, but her constant desire to connect and share with others has lead her on this side quest she calls THƠM.
In Vietnamese, “thơm” translates to fragrant or aromatic. When something is "“thơm”, it is not only fresh but extremely delicious.
After graduating, Christine moved far to Nova Scotia for work as an animator. By herself in a new place, she found ways to create new bonds and friendships through food parties and edible gifts.
During one memorable Christmas, she surprised her friends with homemade chili oil, sparking a surprisingly humble demand.
Encouraged by the enthusiastic response and driven by her own creative curiosity, Christine founded THƠM—a heartfelt homage to her heritage, and a personal twist on classic chili oil. Each batch is crafted with tons of fresh ingredients and meticulous care.
THƠM chili oil aims at earning a spot alongside beloved fridge condiments with its sincere, homemade touch.
