Hi friends! This year is flying by so I wanted to go ahead and post a little status update for any of you that might be curious about what I've been up to.

Lumen, My MFA Thesis Exhibition

My MFA thesis exhibition is a wrap! I was super nervous about my show but it turned out great and everyone I spoke with told me they enjoyed playing the game. It was great to see strangers playing together and having a good time. Thanks to the pandemic and COVID it's taken a long time to wrap up this project. There's definitely still room for improvement but I think this is a pretty great start. Visit this blog post to read more about my MFA exhibition and Lumen, the card game/teaching tool I created.

Xanadu Roller Disco Collection

Pattern collection inspired by the movie Xanadu and the roller disco culture of the 1970s and 80s. This set most closely reminds me of my own days spent at the local roller rink. Motifs include skates, stars, streamers, disco balls, and rainbow waves. Teenage me would have totally rocked this jacket. Pattern Design | Spring 2020 | Jamie Runnells
