Naomi Ryder is a textile designer and illustrator specialising in embroidery. Naomi’s proficiency in illustration led to her combining her love of drawing with her textile work. These two elements are combined by using techniques such as stitch (both hand and free-hand machine embroidery) and print.

Naomi’s main source of inspiration is in the beauty and humour in day-to-day culture - her most recent work explores the beauty in mundane tasks. She has recently completed a 3 piece wall hanging in silk chiffon, featuring 43 embroidered illustrations.

Naomi has worked on many commissions including an advertisement for Domino records, posters for Habitat, CD artwork for David Kitt and Half Set as well as illustrations for magazines such as Plan B, Foggy Notions and Irish Homes.

Using the best quality fabrics Naomi has also embroidered and designed a collection of hand made cushions, throws, duvets, pillows and hand painted scarves.

Naomi has worked with fashion designers including John Rocha, Ali Malek and Lainey Keogh in Dublin. Working with such experts has helped Naomi to develop both her business and creative skills. Naomi is based in London where she has a studio at Cockpit Arts in Deptford. (www.cockpitarts.com)
