About this person
According to design historian Steven Heller, "April Greiman was a bridge between the modern and postmodern, the analog and the digital." "She is a pivotal proponent of the 'new typography' and new wave that defined late twentieth-century graphic design." Her art combines her Swiss design training with West Coast postmodernism.
