Irene Scala is a fellow typophile and graduate of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, where she had the opportunity to study with educators such as Paul Rand, Lou Dorfsman, and Milton Glaser.

After earning a B.F.A. from the Cooper Union, she went on to postgraduate study at The Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. Upon returning to New York City, she joined a multi-disciplinary design studio, creating a wide scope of print and web communication pieces.

Irene Scala teamed up with James Craig in teaching “Typography 1: Introduction to Typography” at The Cooper Union. They continued to collaborate in co-authoring and redesigning the Fifth Edition of the classic textbook Designing with Type, and in the creation of the companion web sites to provide additional information beyond the scope of the book.

Today, Irene Scala continues to art-direct, design, consult, lecture, and collaborate in the fields of graphic design, typography, and education.
