Harpo Productions / Apple Books

In 2021, during the peak of the pandemic, I landed a contract gig with Harpo, to create bespoke visuals in support of (4) slated OBC selections in a span of 10 months. After speed-reading through each book in under two weeks, I put pen to paper and translated each book’s themes, characters, and cultural context into a visual wireframe for initial direction sign-off.

Note: Each phase had at least 3 rounds of approvals from Harpo’s editorial team, Apple Books, and from the authors and publishers as themselves. I made a lot of new friends!

Because the Bookstagram community is highly engaged and culturally aware, I conducted extensive visual and cultural research to inform creative direction, references, and content formats. I also partnered with editorial, production, and creative teams to carry each concept from research and ideation through final execution. Much love to the teams! Here is the work.
