What we're thinking about.

We hope to be a part of the authentic, thoughtful and emotionally honest life that our readers are building for themselves. As part of a greater community of creative, engaged and free-thinking people, we are empowered to effect change, and to build the world we want around us.

Why I do what I do.

I love books. I love how reading opens my eyes and stretches my brain. And I also love books as objects. I love the power of the typography, the illustrations, the cover design, and the way books feel in my hands.
I love working with talented, creative people and helping to bring their thoughts and stories to life.
I love making books for young adults because I believe they have the vision to create a better tomorrow.

For the past fifteen years, I have worked as an art director and book designer in the big publishing houses of New York City. I've enjoyed collaborating with many gifted writers, illustrators, graphic artists and editors. In the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, I have become passionately driven to advocate for the power of love and compassion in the face of hate and oppression. I am creating Street Noise Books to provide a platform from which truth can be told, a place to share our stories, to foster community, and a means to build a future where all people are free and respected.
