Rilla Alexander is an Australian-born designer and illustrator currently based in Portland, Oregon. Her cast of creatures dance across Madrid’s Museo del Prado’s ceramics and stationery products, populate Swiss Credit Cards for Cornér Bank and sleep on the walls of Hotel Fox in Copenhagen (where she replaced the bed with a tent).
Rilla has published several books exploring the creative process including the felt-covered book Neighbourhood (published by viction:ary in 2006). Her latest books are The Best Book in the World and Her Idea (both Flying Eye / Nobrow 2012 and 2014), featuring her alter-ego Sozi – a character Rilla has developed over the last decade, with luxurious sculptures, carefully hand-stitched soft-toys and colour-saturated screenprints.
