From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorraine Wild is a Canadian-born American graphic designer, writer and instructor. She was born in Ontario, Canada and grew up in Detroit, Michigan. She has a long history of contributions to design. She is currently a principal with Lu Sandhaus and Rick Valicenti in Wild LuV. [1] She also heads Greybull Press with Roman Alonso and Lisa Eisner. [2]
Wild received her BFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1975. She worked at Vignelli Associates in New York before studying at Yale University for her 1982 graduate degree. She designed the nineteenth issue of Perspecta (Yale's architectural journal) and designed three influential books on architecture: Daniel Libeskind's Chamber Works and Theatrum Mundi and John Hejduk's Mask of Medusa. [3]
Wild has been on the faculty of California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) since 1985. [4]
According to her AIGA biography, "Her thoroughly informed and deeply sympathetic understanding of the nature of art and design has brought her commissions for monographs on artists and architects as far-ranging as Mike Kelley and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as books and exhibition catalogues for institutions such as Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, The Getty Museum, UCLA's Hammer Museum, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montréal."

Wild was the recipient of a 2006 AIGA medal. [6]
