Naomi Ryder is an extraordinary textile designer and illustrator specialising in embroidery, drawing with stitch to create beautiful images of the everyday.
Naomi’s proficiency in illustration led to her combining her love of drawing with textile work using both hand and machine embroidery and occasionally using print.
Naomi’s main source of inspiration is the beauty and humour found in day-to-day culture and mundane routine tasks that make up our daily lives. She has recently explored this theme by stitching people brushing their teeth, getting out of bed and talking on the telephone. She is able to capture the moment rarely noticed, yet is an essential part of living. She presents such moments using delicate and luxury materials that create an interesting contrast between essential and superfluous, beauty and ordinary.
Naomi’s range of products includes a collection of embroidered hand made cushions, throws, duvets, pillows, she is in the process of developing the range further to include curtains and home ware.
Naomi has worked on many commissions for Domino records, Habitat and the Queen Elizabeth hall, Southbank as well as illustrations for magazines such as Plan B. She has worked with fashion designers including John Rocha, Ali Malek and Lainey Keogh in Dublin.
All commissions are unique, individually designed and hand made to the client’s specification.
