Experience

Naomi’s career in the home design industry spans 25 years. She got her start as a florist, working in high-end shops and crafting arrangements for clients’ homes and private events. This eventually led to home staging and finally, editorial work. For 12 years, she brought her floral design, DIY, tabletop market, and registry know-how to Martha Stewart Living, helming the beloved Good Things column and creating stories that have been nominated for ASME National Magazine Awards. Naomi has also produced content for The Today Show, The Drew Barrymore Show, The Martha Stewart Show, and Good Morning America and events for celebrities like John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Kate Bosworth, Erin Fetherston, and Nancy Meyers.

Education

Naomi attended art classes at San Francisco Art Institute and City College of San Francisco, but credits much of her success to working with well-known stylists.

Fun Fact

I love vintage foreign horror films as well as occult and new wave cinema. Their set design and prop styling influences my editorial work!
