Her work on Ototo is part of the Museum of Modern Art permanent collection, after being acquired by the museum in November 2014.

Ototo was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art from February 14, 2015 - January 18, 2016 in the exhibition 'This Is for Everyone: Design Experiments for the Common Good.

What attracted me to Naomi Elliott was her simplistic use of shape and colour to create very impactful images of figures. Her designs dont feature much detail but I really like this about them and I think this could be a good way fo designing figures for the bumble brief. 

I really like Naomi's map designs and her pastel colour use. Her designs are very celebratory and vibrant in colour which I think is something I will try portray in my bumble designs as it will attract attention and make the app have a more friendly tone of voice.
