Caroline Tiger

Caroline Tiger is an experienced journalist who is fascinated by many aspects of design, including the making of objects; the meanings embedded in material culture; how design shapes a region and vice versa; and design as it relates to commerce. Tiger’s articles have appeared in publications including Metropolis, the New York Times T Magazine, Departures, Town & Country, U.S. Airways magazine, Fortune Small Business, and National Geographic Traveler. Before she freelanced, she was on staff  at Philadelphia magazine, most recently as Managing Editor.

Current, ongoing projects include writing two columns for the Home & Design section of the Philadelphia Inquirer; writing the City Guide to Philadelphia that appears in every issue of Arrive, Amtrak’s in-train magazine; and project-managing a white paper about the impact of DesignPhiladelphia.

Past projects include ghostwriting a book on product and furniture design; authoring Citywalks: Philadelphia, a deck of 50 walks around the city from Chronicle Books; a biography of Isamu Noguchi for the young adult market; and the introductory essay for BUILD 01, a book assembled to explain work by Philadelphia University’s sophomore design studio displayed at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair.

Caroline has also provided copywriting services for clients including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Margeurite Rodgers Ltd. Interior Design, and Peter Breslow Consulting. She is a co-founder and serves on the Advisory Board of Spells Writing Lab, an organization that provides free writing workshops for school-age kids in Philadelphia.
