Schwichtenberg's artistic career began in Hanover with work as an interior designer and packaging designer. She relocated to Berlin around 1920. There she set up a studio and continued working as a designer. She was a member of Werkbund and the Novembergruppe. She painted some portraits of the German avant-garde living in Berlin.
