Meet Bland Hoke

Contrary to what his name suggests, Bland Hoke is an exciting young designer on a global mission to inspire. Combining a unique background in public art with a love of the outdoors and cutting edge urban design, Bland collaborates with other creatives and stakeholders to bring forth fresh solutions and unexpected possibilities. Bland is the principal at Bland Design LLC and former Staff Artist at Jackson Hole Public Art. His process is a direct response to places and people, marked by a true understanding of contemporary design and a signature resourcefulness, courtesy of his Western roots.

Bland has received an Innovation by Design award from Fast Company, presented at Design INDABA in Cape Town, South Africa and recently fabricated a 40’ inflatable Elk Antler. He thrives on building thoughtful public places, developing temporary artwork and imagining projects that feature hammocks.
