Books, Culture & Ideas

A vintage street scene enhanced in sepia and black-and-white tones featuring a storefront with a prominent sign that reads 'TICKETS.' There are other signs and advertisements on the building's facade, with street lamps and power lines overhead, suggesting an early 20th-century urban setting.

What catches my attention

A multi-level modern office space with glass walls and purple lighting. Two women are on the lower level, one reaching up and the other sitting at a desk. On the upper level, two women are standing, one looking at her phone and the other looking at the glass wall, while a dancer performs on the top floor.

I've never been particularly interested in limiting myself to a single subject category.

The projects that attract me tend to begin with something I find culturally interesting: an emerging phenomenon, a familiar subject seen from an unexpected angle, a compelling personality, a visual world worth exploring, or simply an idea that makes me wonder why someone hasn't already turned it into a book.

My interests range across popular culture and entertainment, film and theater, design and visual culture, food and lifestyle, history and nostalgia, photography, personalities, and gift publishing.

I'm particularly interested in books where the physical object matters — where photography, illustration, archival material, typography, format, and design are part of the storytelling and part of what makes someone want to own the finished book.

The subjects may change. The underlying attraction doesn't: a strong idea, a recognizable audience, and the possibility of creating something distinctive.

Often the process begins with a very simple question:

Could this become a book?
