For Season 1 of Issa Rae’s HBO Max series, I collaborated with the post team from the very beginning to start with in-show design explorations while production was still in the works. The series was to be social-format forward which eventually led to not creating in-show graphics and toolkits but also episode specific logo reveal style title sequences. I art directed 6 of 8 episodes and animated 5.
