Born in Hong Kong, grew up in solitude in Arizona’s desert heat. Much of her daily inspirations are derived from her imagination, comic books / video games, people’s stories and the transient states of technology. Her background resides in graphic design, art direction and illustration. As of late, her work has evolved into experience design and storytelling. She currently serves as an adjunct professor at Parsons. Curious at heart and loves the unknown.

Her multi-faceted talents and unique beauty have seen her conquer the worlds of modelling and TV presenting and in only her twenties, she identifies as a global citizen has called countries as diverse as the USA, Japan, the United Kingdom and Spain home, giving her a unique perspective on the world. Naomi’s candid and frank depiction about her experiences as a model and the wider fashion industry has meant she has become a prolific voice in the body positive movement.

As a self-described “healthy body image activist,” Naomi has a monthly column in InStyle UK that reaches 150,000 readers, in which she showcases style has nothing to do with size. She has been profiled by the likes of The Sunday Times, CNN, BBC, i-D and most recently, she graced the cover of The Observer magazine in which she discussed fashion’s prejudices towards plus-size models with acclaimed journalist Eva Wiseman. Her candid admirable and relatable approach to her career and those around her has seen amass a large social media following and now committed to shedding light to social causes close to her heart, Naomi wants to extend the dialogue even further.

2016 signals her move into documentary filmmaking and she is already in pre-production on her video series committed to social issues that affect women across the globe; from sexuality, motherhood, health to travel; subjects she sees as inextricably linked, and that will see her take her pioneering spirit and call for change to a global stage.

 Natalia is part of the founding artistic team of National Sawdust, as well as is a founding board member. She began working with composer Paola Prestini as part of the VisionIntoArt creative team, helping produce performances nationally and internationally, with residencies at the Park Avenue Armory and MASS MoCA, before joining the National Sawdust team two years before its opening in 2015, helping develop the artistic vision for the new space. She has since left the team to curate independently.

Besides continuing her one-off performances, Natalia regularly produces Michael Leviton’s monthly series “The Tell”. She produces & curates “The Selkie Series” – an annual summer series featuring critically-acclaimed female performance artists, musicians, and visual artists all under thirty, which launched summer 2016 in collaboration with Pet. She produces & co-curates “Solid Jackson” with composer and musician Spencer Zahn which features unreleased songs by today’s most recognizable vocalists in a series of one off performances with the industry’s most creative & active musicians.

She also curates and produces “The Playthrough Series” with the NYU Game Center, which focuses on playthrough performances and immersive experiences of video games. It launched with critically acclaimed “Journey“.

She has worked on special performances with artists such as Kimbra, Yuka Honda, Kelsey Lu, Psychic Twin, Chairlift, Cuddle Magic, Deva Mahal, Aerial East, Corinne Bailey Rae, Daughter, Sophia Brous, Autre New Veut, Austin Wintory, Cole Ramstad, We In Cloudz, and more.

She has been published in Time Out New York, worked as Assistant to the Director under Jonathan Bank at the Mint Theatre, and in the development department of the National Theatre of Ireland, The Abbey Theatre, while living in Dublin.

“You’ve probably heard the old adage that good art is the ability to take two seemingly unrelated concepts and show how they intersect. If this cliche is believed then it goes a long way toward explaining the artistic talent of Los Angeles based Creative Producer, Meagan Judkins (meaganjudkins.com).

Within minutes of stepping foot on her first set as a teenager, Meagan had realized her path.  For over ten years she has garnered a reputation for seeking out the strange, the beautiful and meaningful. She has helmed countless sets, always pushing herself and her creatives toward new paths of character driven storytelling paired with thought-provoking visuals.

Meagan started her Production company,  Fox and Leopard, in early 2016 with the continued intention of developing projects + Creatives that entice minds and push society in a forward motion.  Having lived within the worlds of fashion photography and commercial production, the last few years she has poised herself as a film producer;  her company’s independently produced feature film will make it’s public debut in early 2018.

A product of a schizophrenic upbringing, Meagan oscillated between cultural extremes: A conservative Mormon mother from Berkeley, an agnostic father from Seattle, and a Jewish Brazilian stepmother whose career in art and fashion served as a template for a young girl living a stone’s throw from the beehive itself, Brigham Young University. A sort of “army brat”, her father’s work took her from the mountains of Utah to Washington D.C., from Brazil to Paraguay, and finally to L.A., where she took root on her own before the age of 18. Meagan’s travels have exposed her to a myriad of people and communities, refining her love of diplomacy and creating a keen ability to connect and relate with a slew of different characters, a skill that motivates and exhilarates her today.

 

A disjointed upbringing can set a fire under a person, instilling in them a sort of permanent traveler status – an ability to feel at home in the strange, and see the strangeness of home. This unique point of view is the ethos of Meagan’s work.”
