She also worked one-on-one with composers Mark Isham & Isa Machine (from Florence & the Machine) on the Hulu show Little Fires Everywhere where they brought her on to record with her unique approach to the way the harp is used and heard. She can be heard all over the score sculpting the sonic landscape with harp.
