After reading the heart-wrenching, inspiring novel and being asked by Hanya Yanagihara to create a visual accompaniment, I was moved to work with over 20 photographers and illustrators to create photographs, videos and art that were inspired by descriptions, dialogue or settings from the award-winning novel.

Inspired by the iconic Experimental Jetset design, designer Josef Reyes helped us create limited edition tote bags.
After several months, we released the design so that people could print it on whatever they chose. I started the hashtag #ALLbookswag for fans to show off their creations.
Since it launched in 2015, through implementing hashtags like #VisitingLispenardSt, #alittlelifebookart, and #alittlelifebooktattoo and featuring fans weekly with #bookfacefriday, the A Little Life book instagram account has grown to over 53k followers and has a robust community of worldwide superfans who are driven to keep the characters alive through art and photography.
In 2022, I oversaw the social campaign for A Little Life play in conjunction with the West End premiere of the Ivo Van Hove adaptation.
