Early life and education
Louise Sandhouse was born in 1955 outside of Boston, Massachusetts to Norman, an art director, and Harriet Sandhaus, a newspaper columnist. The family later relocated to Orlando, Florida.[1]
Sandhaus received an associate degree in advertising design from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 1976.[2] Under Muriel Cooper, the first design director, she worked for MIT Press in Boston in the 1980s.[2][1] She earned her BFA and MFA in graphic design from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in 1993 and 1994. She received a Graduate Laureate from the Jan Van Eyck Academie in The Netherlands in 1996.[3]
Career
Sandhaus founded her design studio, Louise Sandhaus Design (LSD), in 1998. She was the co-director of the CalArts Graphic Design Program from 1998 to 2004 and was the program's sole director from 2004 to 2006.[3]
Since 1999, Sandhaus has collaborated with the architecture firm Durfee Regn as Durfee Regn Sandhaus. The collective has designed museum exhibitions and interdisciplinary projects.[4] Her work is included in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection[5] and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. She co-curated the Graphic Design section of the 2010 California Design Biennial Action/Reaction.[6]
Sandhaus received the AIGA Los Angeles Fellow Award in 2009[7] and served on the organization's national board from 2009 to 2011.[8] She is currently working with AIGA on Making History, a national initiative to build and preserve graphic design history through crowd-sourcing and utilizing a digital platform/tool.[9]
Sandhaus's book on West Coast design history, Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires and Riots: California and Graphic Design 1936-1986 was inspired by English architectural historian Reyner Banham.[10] The book received exceptional press coverage including reviews from The New York Times,[11] The Guardian (London),[12] The Los Angeles Review of Books,[13] and Eye magazine.[14] An exhibition including page spreads of the proposed book was held at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in 2008.[15]
In 2022, she was awarded the AIGA Medal for her work as an educator and author.[1]
