Tiffany Jow is a New York–based writer and editor. She is interested in how creative expression — in architecture, art, and design in particular — can promote new ways of thinking, seeing, and feeling. 

Since 2002, she has served as editor-in-chief of the design journal Untapped, which she conceptualized and launched in February 2023. Prior to that, she was marketing director for Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, where she contributed to its winning proposal for Chicago’s Obama Presidential Center. She contributed to Surface magazine for more than a decade, holding staff positions as design editor and features director and spearheading content for editorial partnerships. She has also worked in the development office at at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design and in the research department at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, where she contributed to the 2011 exhibition “Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970–1990,” curated by Glenn Adamson and Jane Pavitt. 

Passionate about conveying creativity’s relevance and value to a wide audience, Tiffany has led many approachable yet authoritative public conversations with artists and designers. She is also dedicated to supporting the next generation of design writers, and has been a guest lecturer and critic at New York University, Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts.
