Little Fires Everywhere

The latest episode (No. 35): “Set Design: Bringing Stories to Life.

Here’s more from the Design is Everywhere team:

In this episode, Sam is joined by Jessica Kender, the production designer of Little Fires Everywhere and Future Man, to learn how research, characters, money and space inform her work. Jessica shares her journey from theater to TV, and her favorite tool to use. Later on in the show, Sam and Jessica interview Lisa Clark, a set decorator. Together, they discuss how they collaborated on Little Fires Everywhere and Future Man, what brings them joy in set design, and how they combine research and innovation in storytelling.
