Enter Arcadia: Q&A With Kriti Bajaj on the Making of a Family History Book

Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kriti Bajaj for an in-depth Q&A about the process of bringing Arcadia to life, from concept to print.

In the interview, she asks about why I decided to create a coffee table book, my process and inspiration, and the most unlikely thing I found that made it into the book. I also share lots of topics for anyone thinking about writing a family history book.

It was a joy collaborating with Kriti on the book last year. Check about the Q&A below:
