Early Life and Education
Carin Goldberg was born in New York City on June 12, 1953 and grew up in Long Island and New Jersey. She graduated from the Cooper Union in 1975 with a BFA in painting.
Career
Encouraged by school's director of alumni relations, Marilyn Hoffner, Goldberg worked up a set of logos to present to alumni Lou Dorfsman at CBS. She was hired on as a junior designer in 1977. She moved on to CBS Records in 1979 with former classmate Gene Greif, and worked with Paula Scher, Henrietta Condak and John Berg.
In 1982, Goldberg started her own firm, Carin Goldberg Design. There, she worked on Madonna's debut album and the 1986 edition of James Joyce's Ulysses. Her work on the Ulysses cover, placed her in the midst of the 1980s fight over appropriation. Philip Meggs praised her in his 1989 essay "The Women Who Saved New York!" for using historical styles in contemporary design; while Tibor Kalman vilified her for practicing "jive modernism" in his 1991 Print essay "Good History/Bad History."
In 1983, Goldberg began teaching graphic design at the School of Visual Arts. In 2006, she served as president of the American Institute of Graphic Arts New York Chapter until 2008. In 2008, she was honored by the Art Directors Club for her work in education. In 2009, AIGA awarded her the prestigious AIGA Medal for his contributions to the field of graphic design.
