About Us

It’s all about ideas, and making them sing.

From a New York Times supplement tracing the rise of then-Senator Barack Obama to a Harvard book about the creative survival strategies of people in Cold War–era Burma, from a multidisciplinary reimagination of how physicians can qualitatively understand pain to a dark romantasy novel in which Lucifer learns to love, there are always delicious new ideas at my desk.

And that’s why I love my work: New research. New policy solutions. New stories. Powerful new reminders of the creative power and resilience of the human spirit.

I lovingly sand down those ideas so they are expressed in the punchiest, most evocative ways possible.

But clever wording isn’t everything.

Great design can make ideas dance.

I’m Tripti Raman, cofounder and resident designer at Seaside Editorial. I love finding ways to use art to elevate ideas, to evoke emotions, to tell stories. Whether in contemplative book covers, striking magazine pages, compelling marketing materials, or even fun T-shirts and tile murals, I strive to distill strong ideas into mesmerizing visuals.

Our work is infused with joy.

We live by the sea in the idyllic state of Goa, a meeting point of cultures. Deep currents of tradition underly the very modern yet laid-back lifestyle, with digital nomads and backpackers, environmentalists and engineers, chefs and poets all bringing new viewpoints, new expressions, new ideas.

And when you send us your work, it’ll be met with the same joyous curiosity. Whether it’s getting a deep developmental edit, a light proofread, or an abstract cover design, it’ll be cherished, loved, and gently guided to being the best possible version of itself.
