Summer Baby is produced by Yellow Door Project, our small little company where we manifest our big ideas.

Hi! We are Joe and Cristal, and we run Yellow Door Project the production company executing Summer Baby. We live in Richmond Hill with our 1 year old daughter, Luciana, and love it. Joe grew up in Richmond Hill the only boy of 5 children, many of whom still live in the neighborhood. Today, Joe is a tenured member of the FDNY, when he isn’t working he enjoys a stiff cocktail or bold glass of red wine. Cristal is originally from New Jersey, but has been in NYC for 15+ years earning her stripes as a New Yorker. Cristal works for Industry City, an industrial redevelopment project in Brooklyn, where she works to build community among small business and the neighboring area. When she isn’t in Brooklyn she enjoys spending leisure time in Queens with the family and if she is lucky having a glass of peppery red wine in the evening. Luciana has a full time job being adorable and frankly, she is killing it. We love the Mets, Lemon Ice King, Rockaway and all things Queens.

This summer we decided to launch Summer Baby because we love our community. We are delivering something different and unique to our neighbors that feels fresh and accessible. We are creating an experience that captures the feeling of summer for the whole family. Summer Baby is a community building program that welcomes families, kids, adults, and all of our neighbors to enjoy summer.

Thank you for checking us out. This our first pop-up and we are thrilled to be serving our community. Please feel free to sign up for our newsletter to keep up with our other projects and please email us your feedback!
