GASTRONOMIC EXPERIENCES & CULTURAL CURATION

Concepting and producing experiential food moments, editorials, and brand collaborations.

Since 2017, Naomi Harika has brought together creative direction, production, and hospitality with gastronomy to craft experiences and communicate through food.

Born in Italy to Turkish and Polish parents, Naomi has always hyper-fixated on taste, texture, and environment.

Her work includes creative direction and production for Kikuichi Cutlery, Bonne Suits, and Tip Top Proper Cocktails, as well as curatorial and hospitality roles with Residence-ATL and other cultural collectives.

A marble table featuring a turkish breakfast and various foods including fresh figs, green and black olives, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, orange slices, blocks of cheese, a small bowl of honey with butter, a cup of coffee, and a container of cream.

As co-founder and creative director of OFFBEAT, she developed pop-ups, culinary classes, experiential marketing events, and editorials that highlight international chefs and underground dining culture.

Based between Atlanta and Bodrum, Naomi’s practice explores food, objects, and experiences as a bridge between cultures, stories, and design.

Currently, she’s working on launching her first collection of fine objects, hosting a Turkish breakfast pop-up, and drafting an all-purpose substack.
