Before embarking on a second career in architecture, Naomi was an accomplished communications and public relations practitioner with nearly two decades of experience. She spent 13 years of her career with Bechtel, a global engineering and construction company. During her tenure with Bechtel, Naomi helped the company create a lasting positive legacy in the communities it served.
While pursuing her education in architecture, Naomi developed a passion for healthcare design, as she believes in the healing power of thoughtfully curated built environments. Part of her academic work included serving as a research assistant on two projects funded by the National Institutes of Health.
In addition to leading marketing and business development efforts, Naomi is a member of Marshall Craft’s healthcare studio, having worked on several key behavioral health projects, a family birth center, and patient unit and support space renovations.
