About

Lauren Bilanko

Photographer, Artist, Interactive Storyteller & Entrepreneur

I was born in Chicago and graduated with a photography degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I moved to Williamsburg Brooklyn in 1999. I worked as a professional photographer until I opened Twenty Sided Store in 2011. I currently write and produce interactive immersive storytelling experiences and have created the World of Mira, a science fantasy universe that all of the interactive content takes place in.
