Nao is a multi-discipline artist and embroiderer based in Kent, UK. She studied and worked on analogue photography and printmaking but has made handicraft pieces since her childhood. This led her to train at the Royal School of Needlework on the Future Tutors Programme in traditional English hand embroidery, where she qualified as a professional tutor with a distinction in 2022.

Nao is conscious of well-being and intends to create her work with sustainable materials which is also good for people’s health. She also likes to explore heritage crafts and create pieces using historical techniques.

In 2023, Nao was honoured to be part of the Embroidery Studio team at the Royal School of Needlework and worked on the Anointing Screen for the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
