YouTube Cover Series

Role: Graphic Designer Client: iSpareRoom (my studio, but yes—still counts!) Scope: Weekly YouTube thumbnails for live music performances

The Backstory: YouTube is visual real estate. And with our weekly music series, iSpareRoom Sessions, I had one job: make each episode pop before they even hit play. I designed every single cover in this growing archive, with the goal of keeping things bold, colorful, and distinct—without losing the essence of each artist’s vibe.

The Creative Challenge: Making each graphic look fresh every week? Not for the faint of heart. I had to dig deep, avoid creative rinse-repeat syndrome, and find clever ways to stretch visual ideas while still staying on brand.

A serious level-up in my weekly design flow (speed, confidence, experimentation—you name it)

Lessons learned that are now shaping our next season—including creating a brand guide to bring even more polish and cohesion

Looking back, I’m proud of what this series represents: consistency, creativity, and commitment.
