About Me

Hello! I’m Naomi and I’m the face behind SimplyN. Everything you see on here is dreamed up in my head and then made by myself in my wee workshop on the outskirts of Belfast. I make everything from scratch and you can watch snippets of me making if you are following along on my social media pages.

My background is in 3D Product, Interior and Furniture Design which I graduated from in 2012 from the University of Ulster Belfast. During my time there I completed a Diploma in Foundation Art and Design which is where I fell in love with blowtorches, hammers and saws! I also completed a Diploma in Industry during my degree and worked for a Northern Irish based jewellers where I gained invaluable experience both in their workshop and shop.

Previous to University I made beaded jewellery and did my first fair when I was 12! Crazy to think people bought the strings of beads from me on thread elastic! If you have been here from the very beginning, thank you so, so much. I occasionally run into people that have been with me from the beaded days and I just feel so privileged that so many choose to follow me on this journey. This is my first year taking this seriously as I have chosen to be a stay at home mum and try to run a business alongside family life.
