Realm Media approached me to help re-imagine both cover and pitch deck artwork for their Spotify produced audiobook Mourning Glory. Pitching the series as a "black-led Haunting of Hill House," the design attempted to incorporate specific horror and familial elements that run through the story, and the way those elements are intertwined throughout the family's history.

The inital designs focused more on the family dynamic than the story's supernatural elements via mismatched puzzle pieces to represent the broken family dynamic (as well morning glories incorporated into the wallpaper of the family-owned funeral parlor in the bottommost images).
