Kate Bingaman-Burt is an illustrator & educator.

Her 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, large-scale participatory projects, client work, and a full-time role as educator, Kate’s work invites a dialogue about contemporary forms of exchange.

Classes

Teaching and sharing are a crucial part of my art practice; my enthusiasm for making is channelled into the role of facilitator and guide. Let's make stuff together, okay? 

OFFLINE: PORTLAND STATE GRAPHIC DESIGN

Along with being an Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State (go PSUGD!), I teach a variety of online classes through Skillshare and CreativeLive. I also have been traveling around for the last several years conducting zine workshops at a variety of institutions.

Do you want to learn more about the Graphic Design Program at Portland State? Check out our program page! Look at our instagram or scroll through our hashtag.

The classes that I teach at PSU range from sophomore level branding, information design, illustration, packaging and exhibition design to senior level thesis and portfolio. One of my most favorite classes to teach is one that I developed called A+D Projects. A+D Projects acts as the in house design studio for the Art + Design school. Populated with talented and enthusiastic Juniors and Seniors, we not only work with the art school population to execute projects, but we dream up and implement programming such as our quarterly zine Annex, Good Market pop-up shop, Be Honest student showcase, What the Help? mentorship program, field trips and the occasional Drake themed Bingo Night. We also explore the city and invade local design shops and are lucky to have professionals hang out with us and offer guidance and feedback. 

Professional practice starts now! PSUGD students engage with the community from day one. Between our weekly lectures from local (and not so local) creative community members to hosting big design showcases to organizing quiet sit down reviews, students are making and thinking and talking about design all of the time. Check out some of our grads. Our Show & Tell Lecture Series is held every Thursday at noon in room 320 of the Art Building (2000 SW 5th Ave. It's open to the public so please come and say HELLO!
