08/05/22 • 28 min

Leah Spencer is a graphic designer for film and TV, a job she describes as ‘the coolest niche job in the world’.
In this episode, Leah tells us how her work in corporate graphic design gave her an advantage when she eventually made the switch to film and TV, landing her dream job working on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and how she takes inspiration from living and working in New York to authentically bring to life its 50’s era on the show.
Leah also tells us how she uses her skills in illustration in between making shows, and how she has plans to help new designers to break into the film and TV industry.
