Kate Bingaman-Burt & Leland Vaughan

Kate Bingaman-Burt (she/her/hers) mostly draws, letters, documents, and collects, but she also does a lot of other things that involve energy, conversation, and exchange. Kate is a full-time educator and makes illustrations for all sorts of clients all around the world. Since 2008, she has worked at Portland State University and is the Associate Director of The School of Art + Design and a Professor of Graphic Design. She opened Outlet in 2017, which hosts workshops, pop-up events and a fully operational risograph print studio. Kate loves creating spaces that make people want to MAKE!

Leland Vaughan (them/them/theirs) is Outlet’s studio manager! They’re a riso print nerd, designer, illustrator, and one of the many leos who work in this space (for better or worse)! Leland is the organizational force behind Outlet—from printing to workshops, events, pop-ups, bookkeeping, inventory, and more—and is most likely the person you’re emailing with about everything risograph-related. They’ve got a thing for spreadsheets, fixing riso printers when they break, and they have an eye for detail when it comes to printing.
