Graphis ArchivesBiography/Work Experience
René V. Steiner, a Swiss-Canadian, established Steiner Graphics in 2000 and since then has provided design services for a wide variety of individuals and organizations, ranging from artists to international organizatons — it is a truly global client base. Prior to returning to Canada in 2014, Steiner lived and worked in Boston, Zurich and Geneva and was a member of Swiss Graphic Designers (SGD) for the better part of a decade.
Philosophy on Work
Much of his work now focuses on the dynamics of the forces of globalization and how these affect human interaction, locally, nationally and internationally. Born of an Iranian mother and a Swiss father, his perspectives on these issues are reflected in his design work and it is his hope that he can contribute, in however small a fashion, to developing bridges of understanding as opposed to furthering existing social divides.
Professional Specialties
Print media design with a focus on posters and book covers.
