“Looking back over the intensive two weeks of the exhibition, it is clear that its success would not have been possible without the assistance and support of Naomi Hasegawa.

Throughout the continuous fourteen days we were open, the consistent stream of visitors that I had to attend to, would have prohibited any attention to the vital administration behind the scenes if it were not for Naomi’s support. The substantial increase in visitor attendance was a direct result of her carefully honed Instagram campaign.

Today, over a month since the exhibition, I received an inspirational message from a supporter, who due to illness had been unable to attend the exhibition. He spoke of still being haunted by the images of the exhibition, thanks to the skill of Naomi. This is but one of a stream of examples I could sight endorsing the transformational ingredient that she can bring to any similar event.”
