Winnie Looby - Costume Designer
Trained in multiple disciplines, I enjoy both solo and collaborative projects that allow me to combine all of my interests at once. My aesthetic has been shaped by the surrealism of our human mythology, and what is literally right in front of me at any given moment. This beautiful chaos includes raising my family, and a PhD in education.

Matthew Binginot - Visual Design Director
I am a designer, producer, and lover of all forms of media creativity. I am especially drawn towards photography, music, film, and graphic design, although I am always seeking new forms of creative expression and form. Even though I can't make up my mind about a specific path to pursue as an artist, every day I am filled with new inspirations, ideas, and creative energy that I devote myself to fulfilling. I'm learning more about my crafts of creativity every day, and will document some of my creations each step of the journey!
When I'm not producing my own media art, I'm teaching a program called Digital Media Arts program at the Central Vermont Career Center. It is one of the most rewarding jobs I could ever ask for; each day, I get to inspire young artists to be creative and show them new ways to practice their passions!
