Nico Schweizer

New Yorker (b. 1969) who graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1993 and set up a studio in Hoboken, NJ. In 2004, Nico moved to Tuscany, and then Switzerland with his young family. He started a line of wooden children's toys in 2005, and later he ran a small agency for identity and website design in Zurich. He returned to the NY area in 2013, and since 2016, he has been a design director at The New Yorker magazine.
