About


HILXING Design, Art and Consulting Inc. was originally started as a partnership of an artist, Liz Ingram, and a designer, Bernd Hildebrandt. Established in 2010, they have done commissioned installations, public art, design and production of art and artifact based exhibitions, graphic production of catalogues, exhibit graphics, exhibit furniture design, artifact mounts, as well as artist book works and prints.

It is the purpose of the company to integrate fine art sensibilities within a pragmatic design practice.

She is well respected in the international printmaking community due to her numerous solo and group exhibitions, and awards in major international exhibitions. Bernd’s design expertise is based on experience in exhibit design and graphics while employed with the University of Alberta until 2007, when he began to work as a freelance exhibit designer. He has taught environmental graphics at the University as a sessional instructor since 1999.
