Virtual Art Talk: Watch the recording of our Virtual Art Talk featuring Nike 3D Expert Designer Lauren Thomas, inspired by Art & Sole, a current exhibition at the Heard Museum. This exhibition demonstrates how artists’ visual language and distinctive styles can translate across different forms, showing that artists are not bound by a specific medium or style.
The Heard Museum, in collaboration with Nike N7, is honored to present Lauren (Lohnny) Thomas, a 3D Designer at Nike and design director for N7. Hailing from Lennox Island Mi’kmaq First Nation, Lauren represents her cultural heritage at Nike and is committed to empowering Indigenous design. She leads initiatives to increase Indigenous representation and has developed an internship program with The Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA). Beyond her corporate work, Lauren organizes a summer design program on her reservation in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Lauren resides in Beaverton, Oregon, with her wife and their dog. She enjoys rock climbing, hiking, painting, and various other hobbies.
