Art General
RILLA ALEXANDER
Rilla Alexander is an illustrator and designer whose work has appeared on everything from toys and teacups to buses and buildings. Her cast of characters dance across Museo del Prado’s ceramics and stationery, populate Swiss credit cards, and sleep on the walls of a Copenhagen hotel (where she replaced the bed with a tent). Rilla explores the creative process through her alter ego Sozi and her anthropomorphized ideas, using them to inspire both children and adults through picture books and workshops.

KATE BINGAMAN-BURT
Kate Bingaman-Burt’s work orbits around the objects in our lives: the things we buy, the things we discard, and the collectivity and social interaction that can arise from cycles of consumption. Via illustrations, daily documentation, publications, events, largescale participatory projects, client work, and a full-time role as an educator, Kate’s work invites a dialogue about contemporary forms of exchange.

WILL BRYANT
Will Bryant is an Austin, Texas–based artist. His work weaves together humor with commerce, fun, and positivity. In his sculptural installations, photographic still lifes, and commercial illustration projects, there is always a sense of exuberance at play with a colorful palette.

When not working, he enjoys hanging out with his daughter and wife, reading about sports, shooting hoops, or lounging in expensive sweatpants.
BUILD
Build is a design studio, specializing in creating visual languages and identities for clients through art direction, graphic design, image making, moving image, and typography. By mixing bold design with wit and thinking, Build gives form to ideas, from dynamic to playful.
