In addition to my design blog swissmiss, I also run four “side-projects gone businesses”; a collaborative co-working space called Studiomates, a global, monthly lecture series called CreativeMornings, TeuxDeux the simple to-do app and Tattly, a design-y temporary tattoo shop. Due to the number of businesses I run, I have lost track of how many emails I receive daily and try to keep up. I have weekly team meetings to keep everyone on track. I read a lot.
I spend most of my time building online tools for artists to share and monetize their work.
