Kate Bingaman-Burt makes her painfully mundane purchases irresistible or at least gives us something to make us feel less self-conscious about how frequently we spend to fill the void. Obsessive Consumption started in 2002 when Kate decided to photograph all of her purchases and in turn create a brand out of the process to package and promote.

She received her MFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2004 and is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Mississippi State University. Her work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, Lowdown (Berlin), Money, Print, How, Craft, Adorn, GOOD, American Public Media’s “Weekend America,” Canadian Globe and Mail, Yahoo Site of the Day, USA Today Site of the Day.
