Kristen Nobles joined Candlewick Press as Art Director in 2004. As an art
director, she has worked with award-winning illustrators Leslie
Patricelli, Sophie Blackall, Yuyi Morales, John Rocco, Matt Myers, Ed
Young, and Carson Ellis. Kristen loves a strong character, a unique
style or retro look made new again, and looks for a new spin on
traditional themes in children’s books. Before returning to the East Coast, Kristen was a senior designer at Chronicle Books in San
Francisco. Her passion for children’s books has been passed down from
her mother, an elementary school teacher, and her grandmother, a
librarian.
