113 NEW PODCAST ARTWORK! A Discussion About The Process With My Graphic Designer, Sara Sullivan

Last Modified: Apr 4, 2024 · This post may contain affiliate links

I am so, so excited to introduce you today to Sara Sullivan and to the absolutely perfect new artwork she designed for The Storied Recipe podcast.

As we start this conversation, I need you to understand how incredibly uncomfortable I felt going into this process. You see, I’m a white woman who, for one thing, regularly shares the stories of people and cultures outside my own. On top of that, I have both black sons and white sons that I routinely include in my photography and imagery for the show. Long before I began this process, I had an exchange with a press outlet that made all of these things feel… well, confused at best. The exchange actually caused me to completely shut down from reaching out to the press or starting down this process for a long time - I’ll share more about that in the episode.

So, before this process, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what made a graphic designer good at their job - but now that I’ve been through the process, I can tell you that I wish every client could find a professional like Sara. She led me through a process that helped me to confront these feelings of ickiness, reach out to my audience to clarify my confusion, and ultimately she produced a piece of art that *exactly* resolves all of the problems I brought to the process, meets every criteria I laid out ahead of time, and is truly beautiful. I feel it’s the perfect representation of what I hope to do through this podcast and I owe it all to Sara. I’m so grateful to her and super excited to share a little bit about her career and her process with you today. Welcome Sara!

Highlights

  • Sara's career trajectory
  • The two reasons I wanted to change my artwork
  • Whiteness, a multiracial family, and a podcast artwork (and telling other people's stories)

  • Why it is important to walk through a creative process with someone you connect to
