Romy Strasser is an interdisciplinary art and design director living and working in Zurich.
She is running the agency NEW ASSEMBLY together with Till Kammertöns, offering creative services for brands and cultural institutions. NEW ASSEMBLY operates at the intersection of design, technology, and communication, working closely with a network of creatives to execute transformative projects in the fields of art, fashion, and culture.
Having worked for various design studios such as Hubertus Design (Zurich), OK-RM (London), Ludovic Balland (Basel), and Charles Blunier & Co. (Zurich), her interdisciplinary approach not only challenges the boundaries of contemporary media outlets, but links them together, shaping a coherent aesthetic.
While assisting Prof. Dr. Sarah Owens at ZHdK from 2015 to 2019, her interest expanded into teaching. Since then, she has repeatedly co-led modules on Layout Advanced in the Visual Communication department at ZHdK.
From 2019 to 2022, she also served as a co-founder and co-director at ROLE Studio. In 2020, alongside her independent ventures, she joined the newly launched STUDIO Magazine as Art and Design Director, a position she continues to hold as the artistic co-director.
Romy Strasser collaborates closely with a network of writers, photographers, artists, designers and strategists. This approach embodies a multitude of perspectives and facilitates transformative and strategic endeavors firmly grounded in the synergetic potential of design, technology, and communication.
