swissmiss inspiration!
Curiosity, adventure and an eye for clean, sensible [swiss] design are a few of the qualities that have contributed to swissmiss’s success. Her name is Tina Eisenberg, but it is clear that she quite prefers simply going be swissmiss. In just five short years her blog is receiving over 5 million visits each month. Another 250 thousand faithful followers keep up through RSS.
In the little over 1 hour that she shared inside of Weiden + Kennedy’s Portland, Oregon, office, she gave a little insight into her journey from the Swiss Alps to New York City. It was after graduating in 1999 that she first came to the US and she’s had the privilege of working on a number of really great projects including ThinkMap and the GUI for Visual Thesaurus.
Her experiences and natural curiosity show through in the way she speaks and I left feeling inspired to approach design in a whole new way. It’s about the joy in the journey, not just working for money.
She has been a strong proponent for collaboration in the NYC design community (and beyond with her blog) and strongly believes that we can all benefit from sharing ideas and inspiring each other.
Or maybe I was just inspired by W+K’s amazing space. Whatever it was, it was a great opportunity to learn, grow and be inspired.

HAHA! We both took pictures of her feet. I guess they were just more attractive than her prego belly, no?
