Naomi Yamamoto graduated with distinction from the Fibre Program at the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2006. Inspired by a love of bold patterns, Flight Path was created in 2007. Her work utilizes a combination of found imagery from her travels, vintage prints and textiles to create a line of belts, housewares, and adornment for the body. The current textile-based work is inspired from a childhood which provided a rich source of exposure to different craft processes stemming from her Japanese ancestry. With her handmade pieces, she is focused on creating an alternative to mass-produced products and commited to supporting locally made.
Recently she has been focused upon leading team building workshops to empower others to explore their creative potential.
