The mum-and-daughter team behind new online store Ohana Concept talks to CNA Women about all things family, furniture, and building on their relationship – including what it’s like to have Mum design your marital home.

Host-presenter and actress Naomi Yeo is adding to the list of things on her resume – she’s started an online shop selling custom built-in furniture with her mum as her business partner.

You can’t do these things halfway,” added Yeo. “There will definitely be hardships that will come through, but if this is an opportunity for you to learn how to communicate better – or build on the relationship that you have with your mum – I think you should just go for it.”The pair launched Ohana Concept in May after about 18 months of conceptualising, designing and finalising the concept.
