My full name is Tina Roth Eisenberg. I started swissmiss in March of 2005 as my personal visual archive. Little did I know that it would eventually grow into a popular design journal with an average of 900k unique visitors a month.
I grew up in Speicher (AR), Switzerland, influenced by renowned Swiss design and a lot of fresh mountain air. In 1999, after completing my design studies in Geneva and Munich, I crossed the Atlantic and began designing in New York. Since then, I have worked at several prominent NYC design firms, including Thinkmap, where I served as Design Director and helped design the award-winningVisual Thesaurus.
I now run my own studio, swissmiss, with recent clients including the Museum of Modern Art and the Food Network. My aesthetics reveal my Swiss roots – I am a firm believer in white space and clean, elegant design.
Besides running swissmiss the blog and design studio, I teach atParsons The New School for Design, organize a monthly lecture/breakfast series called CreativeMornings and run a simple browser-based to-do app called TeuxDeux.
I live in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn with my wonderful husband, G (a kitchen designer), and our 4 year old daughter, Ella Joy and a few months old son Tilo Red a.k.a swissmister.
Because of the popularity of my blog, I am often referred to as swissmiss. I like that.
Thank you for reading!
