It all started in 2001.  While studying at Grant McEwan College in Edmonton, one of Naomi's classmates took her to her very first bead shop.  The rest is history.  Naomi's first  necklace started as a simple strand of turquoise chips, and her present jewellery line,  Lulu Bijou, has grown to include every stone under the sun,  precious metal, caribou antler, feathers, and leather.

Thus far, Naomi's Creations have been featured in a number of fashion show productions, namely the 2008 Arctic Winter Games Cultural Shows, the 2009 Circumpolar Health Conference Gala, and Inuvik's 2009 Great Northern Arts Festival. Lulu Bijou is a regular at the annual Folk on the Rocks Festival in Yellowknife, as well as the Aurora Arts Society's Annual Arts Expo.  Naomi has exhibited her wares at the Yellowknife Trade Show, the St. Albert's Farmers' Market, and the Sundog Handicraft Fair in Saskatoon.  Currently, Naomi's Line of Jewellery is being featured among a plethura of northern art at the Northern House in Vancouver BC for the duration of the 2010 Olympics.

Of Gwich'in and Metis heritage, Naomi was born and raised in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories; and she, her husband, and two children continue to make the north their home. Naomi enjoys working out of her home studio in Yellowknife.
