About The Magazine
Tiny House Magazine was created for people who love small spaces with big purpose.
We keep it simple on purpose: fewer distractions, minimal ads, and a reading experience that feels like a deep breath. If you’ve ever wanted to slow down, get inspired, and learn from real tiny house living (not just pretty photos), you’re in the right place.
Inside our pages you’ll find:
- Minimal ads
- Real stories from real builds and real life
- Tips and practical knowledge you can actually use
- Designs that work, tested through lived experience
Over the years, Tiny House Magazine has featured more than 140 unique tiny houses, highlighted 95 tiny house businesses, and shared countless anecdotes and essays from across the modern tiny house movement and beyond.
But Why?
Tiny House Magazine started as an experiment and became a long-term publishing commitment.
Even back in 2013, the internet was already noisy. The magazine became a way to focus attention, create a calmer place to learn and enjoy, and share the tiny house world in a format built for readers who want more than quick scrolling. It’s been going strong ever since, driven by a love for good design, thoughtful storytelling, and the practical realities of living with less.
Meet The Team
KENT GRISWOLD — PUBLISHER + FOUNDER
Kent Griswold was born in Loma Linda, California, and moved to Prescott, Arizona at three months old. After 15 years in Prescott, he relocated to Northern California, where his professional path continued to evolve.
Kent graduated from Walla Walla University with a degree in Graphics Technology. After spending six years attempting to break into the printing industry, he pivoted—taking a six-month, trade-school-style course in personal computers in the mid-80s. That training opened the door to programming, spreadsheets, databases, and early digital work.
Kent went on to work in the mortgage industry for 15 years as a programmer and graphic designer, where he also began early web development. After a company takeover shifted things, he moved into freelance web design using early WordPress, discovered blogging, and launched the Tiny House Blog in 2007.
In 2013, he found a way to design magazines using Apple apps and jumped in with Tiny House Magazine. Later, he added a PDF version so readers everywhere could access it. What began as a creative experiment became more than a decade of consistent publishing—and counting.
ANDREW ODOM — CONTENT EDITOR
Andrew Odom brings both a storyteller’s eye and a builder’s lived experience to Tiny House Magazine.
Andrew and his wife, Crystal, built their first tiny house on wheels in 2010: a 30-foot-long, single-level tiny home on a trailer. That first build sparked a long-term love affair with tiny houses and shaped much of the work that followed.
Over the years, Andrew helped expand the conversation around tiny living through Tiny r(E)volution, co-created the widely loved TinyHouseNC Street Festivals in 2017 and 2018, contributed to book publishing within the modern tiny house movement, and developed a college curriculum focused on post–World War II housing. His editorial leadership helps keep Tiny House Magazine grounded in what matters most: real people, real homes, and ideas that actually hold up in everyday life.
