April Greiman
April Greiman is a pioneering designer who merged European Modernism with the bold, experimental style of California New Wave. She was born in New York in 1948, studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Basel School of Design in Switzerland, where she was influenced by the New Wave movement led by Wolfgang Weingart. Greiman later moved to Los Angeles in 1976, where she founded the multidisciplinary studio, Made in Space. She was one of the first designers to adopt computer technology and integrate it in her work. Explore related designers including Wolfgang Weingart and Tibor Kalman.
