About Naomi Herring

Hi, I’m Naomi Herring, a Visual Merchandise Manager in the Bay Area. My love for creativity began at an early age, when I would play with exciting color and pattern combinations in my wardrobe and wear them to school. At home, I would always incite the next art project on my family\'s dining room table. That sense of play and curiosity has carried through into my career, where I now focus on creating immersive, inspiring experiences that captivate customers and bring products to life.With hands-on experience in visual merchandising, I’ve honed skills in product placement, assortment management, and analyzing customer demand. This role has deepened my curiosity about the entire lifecycle of a product, from concept to customer. I’m now eager to leverage my skills and passion for merchandising in a corporate setting here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
