Design With Feet On The Ground
Naomi Nishimura
Former NYC Designer, Born and Raised in Tokyo
Naomi’s unique design eye transforms spaces into places people want to stay. With a background in design and decades of hands-on experience, from NYC loft conversions to historic upstate New York homes. She now brings her expertise to the epic terrain of South Pacific Costa Rica. In a region where triple black diamond jungle hills meet the ocean in 15 minutes, Naomi creates bold, climate-adapted concepts tailored to each site’s unique challenges.
She’s not an architect. But acts as the vital bridge between you and your construction team, including architects and engineers. As an independent design consultant, Naomi offers a third point of view, ensuring your project stays aligned with your goals. Not someone else’s sales pitch. From setting priorities to seasonal scheduling, she helps you build smart, beautiful, and grounded in reality.

Where others see a problem, I design the solution.
No surprises!
