About NG Living
Custom Cabinetry & Kitchen Design Studio — St. Louis

Hi, I’m Naomi — founder and lead designer of NG Living, a custom cabinetry and kitchen design studio based in St. Louis, Missouri.

Originally from Sydney, Australia, I bring an architectural drafting background and a global design perspective to residential cabinetry projects across the St. Louis metro area. Since relocating in 2018, my work has focused on helping homeowners, interior designers, architects, and builders achieve cabinetry that is functional, beautifully proportioned, and built to last.

NG Living was created to bridge the gap between thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship — combining precise site measurement, detailed cabinet drawings, and Amish-built custom cabinetry into one streamlined, professional process.

My Design Philosophy

At NG Living, cabinetry is never treated as an afterthought. I believe cabinetry should feel as intentional as every other architectural element in a home — supporting daily life while elevating the overall design.

My role is to guide clients through decisions that matter: layout, proportion, storage, finishes, and long-term usability. Whether I’m collaborating with a homeowner directly or supporting a design professional, every project is approached with clarity, precision, and respect for the client’s vision and budget.

What Sets NG Living Apart

Amish-Built Custom Cabinetry
Each project is crafted by experienced Amish cabinetmakers using solid hardwoods, traditional joinery, and meticulous finishing. Cabinetry is built to order — never modular or mass-produced.

Designer-Led Process
All projects are guided by a professional designer from initial planning through final coordination, ensuring layout accuracy, cohesive detailing, and fewer surprises.

Flexible Installation Options
Cabinetry may be installed by the Amish craftsmen or by your builder’s preferred installer — allowing flexibility based on project structure and schedule.

Local Expertise
Based in St. Louis, I work extensively in Ladue, Clayton, Chesterfield, Wildwood, Kirkwood, Ballwin, Webster Groves, Town & Country, and surrounding communities.

Who I Work With

NG Living works with:

Homeowners planning kitchens, baths, built-ins, and whole-home cabinetry
Interior designers & architects seeking a cabinetry partner with technical depth
Builders & contractors requiring reliable cabinetry coordination and documentation

Each project is tailored to the client’s scope, timeline, and investment level — with design decisions always guided by budget, function, and long-term value.

Budget & Project Planning

Budget is a priority in every NG Living project.

Early in the process, I provide general budget guidance based on layout scope, cabinetry type, and finish direction to help clients make informed decisions from the start. As the design develops, drawings and specifications bring greater clarity — allowing the budget to be refined and aligned with the final plan.

Because each project is fully custom, exact pricing is confirmed once design documentation is complete. This ensures cabinetry is priced accurately to the approved layout, materials, and detailing — not estimated loosely or retrofitted later.
