“Yeah. I mean, I have a very distinct and specific taste, I would say. And I feel like now more than ever, I personally really appreciate sort of, I call them gardens on the internet where people carefully curate them with their taste, with their lens on the world. And that's what I'm trying to do. And it's just cool that people can tap into it.”

“Well, I was just a curious designer working in a design studio at the time. And every morning I will come in and I would spend a few minutes sort of seeing, you know, what's new on the web. It was such an exciting time because the web was such a playground. It was not a self-promoting universe as it is now. It was just really playful. And I just love discovering new products or websites or typefaces or whatever it was. And I was like, I need a place to kind of keep my personal archive to go back to it and find it again. And so I just started a blog for myself to sort of have my personal archive. And a few months in, my friend said, do you realize that people are linking to you? Do you ever look at your stats? And then I realized that my personal archive was actually not that personal and obviously that was very exciting when I realized that people are enjoying what I'm sharing.”

“Yeah, yeah. It was pretty bad. That's what happened to me. I was like, huh, I typed in Swiss Smith and I was like, wait, Swiss Miss Cocoa. I wonder what their website looks like. It's a great name. And this is like early blog days. This is like...”

“A Swiss mess Oh no, never, you know, I actually got the trademark for events and design related things. And my lawyer thought he was really, really bold. And they agreed to it. They said, if you put in there that you will never sell any chocolate related products, we're okay with it. It's pretty wild. In my heyday, I really missed an opportunity to partner with me because I had like two million readers a month at the time. And I sent them so much, I mean, so much traffic because everybody put in Swissmith. Yeah, yeah, it was pretty bad.”

“In 2005, you started a blog, which is still going, which is, for people, I haven't seen this awesome. I love it. It's such a great blog, and it's called SwissMiss, not the Coco. You are a Swiss. Person who's a Swiss miss. It's a great name. Do you ever get any grief from Swiss miss Coco?”

“It was incredible. It was still the dot-com heydays. I remember I made really, really small salary and could barely afford, you know, living in New York City. But thank God for all these free internet parties that these internet startups. It was a magical time when the web was sort of exploding and everybody thought it's going to change the world forever, which it did to a certain extent. But I feel like we have similar hypes right now, you know, around just recently NFTs and then now AI. And just reminds me a bit of that time.”

“I know that you at that time, in those early days, New York was probably this incredible, I mean, especially from a design perspective, because it's a center of design, one of the global centers of design, you were exposed to all these kind of creative people going to parties. Go to art shows and tell me about that world that you landed in New York.”

“I wasn't extremely multiverse designer. I was able to do print and I taught myself HTML and web design. And so I was like a typical Swiss army knife. I could just do it all, but then very quickly became the web girl within that small design studio.”

“Yeah, it was pretty magical. I had one interview lined up in a small design studio in downtown Manhattan. And that interview was 16 hours after arriving in New York. And after five minutes of walking into that studio and talking to Matthew Waltman, who ran it, he looked at me and said, you will never leave New York. You will marry a tall Jewish man and you got yourself an internship and set me down. Wow.”

“Hello and welcome to How I Built This Lab. I'm Guy Raz. So back in 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg got tired of working alone at her home office. Tina's a graphic designer by training, and she knew a bunch of other designers who felt the same way. So that year she rented an old office in Brooklyn and turned it into a co-working space. And she invited a bunch of friends to join her. Now what happened next as she remembers it was magical. Conversations flowed, ideas were germinated, collaborations forged, the ideas exchanged over lunchtime conversations actually inspired multiple business ideas for Tina, including Tatley, a temporary tattoo company and to do a simplified to-do list website. These conversations were everything Tina had hoped for, and so she started inviting other people to the co-working space to join in. Those meetups more”
