Episode art for NPR’s podcast Invisibilia

The NPR podcast Invisibilia explores the invisible forces shaping human behavior, ideas, beliefs and assumptions. As an art director on three seasons of the podcast, I worked with hosts and producers on visually translating each season’s unique theme into compelling, emotional art.

For Season 3, the show took a darker turn into the human psyche. Each episode explored stories through a prism of varying perspectives and shifting realities — where the world isn’t quite as real as you might think. Artist Marina Muun’s dark, dreamsicle palette and conceptual explorations of otherwordly emotions encapsulated the tone of the season perfectly.

In previous seasons of the podcast, I worked with artists Sara Wong and Kristen Uroda.

Episode art was used to promote stories on NPR.org and Apple podcasts. The art was shown at live listening events and used on promotional items sold in the NPR gift shop. I art directed the visuals for multiple online features and spin-off content accompanying the drop of each episode. I also worked with a small team to produce an animated short film of one story with artist Lily Padula. This was later recognized by the Society of Illustrators with a gold award.
