— Things I Burned Down To Build
About
Nina Schroedl is a Vienna-born visual artist, writer, and architectural thinker whose work lives at the intersection of pattern, identity, and transformation. Trained at the Sommerakademie für Bildende Kunst in Salzburg under Jörg Immendorff and Georg Eisler at fifteen, and later in architecture at the Angewandte under the Holzbauer Klasse, she brings a spatial intelligence to everything she makes.
Her practice spans surface pattern, product design, illustration, and textile — working with brands like Alfa Romeo, Alessi, Wolford, and Woka. Paola Antonelli at MoMA once told her: “You are on my radar.”
She holds a degree in Business Administration from WU Wien, has lived between Vienna, Venice, and the digital frontier for three decades, and is completing her first memoir.
Timeline
The Book
Between the Buddha and the Confessional
A memoir about pattern, fire, and the things you have to destroy before you can build something real. Written across morning pages, planners, 2,190 emails to one man, and a lifetime of starting over.
Part design manifesto, part confessional, part love letter to the creative mind that never stops — and the people who survive it.
Coaching
Nina works one-on-one with founders, creatives, and high-performers who keep building the same thing in different packaging. Using pattern recognition from two decades of design thinking, architecture, and her own spectacular crashes, she helps you see the structure underneath your decisions — and redesign it.
Sessions are direct, warm, and ruthlessly honest. No frameworks. No worksheets. Just someone who’s burned it all down and built something real — helping you do the same.
