Cyril Vouilloz, better known as RYLSEE, is a Swiss visual artist and author based in Berlin. He has been drawing for as long as he can remember and turned his childhood hobby into a 20-year career in visual arts. RYLSEE is a freelance designer and one of the founding members of Urban Spree, an arts and music venue in the heart of Berlin. He also runs lettering workshops for individuals, schools, universities, and companies.

More recently he has moved into animated design, and his “New Post” Instagram sticker has been used over a billion times on the platform.
