April Greiman was born in metropolitan New York City and studied graphic design in the United States and abroad. After working as a freelance designer in New York City, she moved to Los Angeles in 1976, establishing her multi-disciplinary design practice, currently called Made in Space.

Ms. Greiman’s innovative ideas and hybrid-based approach have influenced and served design and designers, clients and their projects worldwide over the last twenty five years. Her explorations of typography and color as objects in time and space are grounded in her singular fusion of technology and graphics.

In the early 1980s, April Greiman pioneered digital design and became renowned for her radical experiments with the Apple Macintosh. Clients whose projects have become legendary for their merger of type and image include PacTel, Esprit, US West, the Walker Art Center, and the United States Postal Service, which commissioned the design of a commemorative stamp for the nineteenth amendment in 1995.

Today, April Greiman brings a unique approach that blends technology and science with symbol and myth, words and images with texture and space. Her singular expertise is focused on color-surfaces-materials consulting and trans-media identity and lifestyle-branding projects for such clients as aol Time Warner; Sears Great Indoors; Amgen, Inc.; and the new La Jolla Playhouse.
