About

I'm Naomi, I'm a special effects artist from North Carolina who does makeup, SFX props, puppets, SFX costumes, and so much more! I'm super passionate about everything horror and whimsy, from super scary monsters to adorably ugly puppets.

I'm a go-getter and known to really throw myself into projects and really give them my all, no matter what!
