Wynonna, Ashley, Larry, Kodi.
Wynonna Judd and Ashley Judd — Naomi's daughters — lead curation alongside Larry Strickland, Naomi's husband of nearly 33 years. Day-to-day archival work is led by Kodi Chandler, Director of Hill Entertainment Group and the Estate's official archivist.
The family's stated approach: release Naomi's archive through chapters, each chapter focused on a different facet of who she was. Wynonna has described the source material as "over a hundred scrapbooks and photo albums, organized by decade, year, month" — material that will sustain the estate's releases for many years.

Sourced from the Naomi Judd Estate's published pages + Curated Sense customer questions through April 2026.
Who runs the Naomi Judd Legacy estate?
The Naomi Judd Estate is overseen by her family — daughter Wynonna Judd, daughter Ashley Judd, and her husband of nearly 33 years, Larry Strickland. Day-to-day archival work is led by Kodi Chandler, Director of Hill Entertainment Group and the Estate's official archivist. The estate publishes new material through what it calls 'curated chapters' — each chapter focused on a different facet of Naomi's life and work.
What does 'Love Can Build A Bridge' mean to the brand?
'Love Can Build A Bridge' is The Judds' 1990 single (released October 1990, peaked at #5 on the Billboard country chart). Naomi co-wrote it with John Jarvis and Paul Overstreet, and it won the Grammy for Best Country Song in 1992. Naomi has called it 'the song that says everything I've ever tried to say about how to live.' The phrase is the brand's signature line, appearing across mugs, tees, hoodies, and the suncatcher line.
Why is there a 'Nurse' line?
Before her music career, Naomi Judd was a registered nurse. She worked night shifts in nursing while raising Wynonna and Ashley, and she has cited her nursing years as the foundation of her empathy-as-a-discipline philosophy. The Nurse Unisex T-Shirt and Nurse Mug honor that part of her life — proceeds support the estate's continued archival work.
What are the 'five chapters' (Icon, Writer, Trendsetter, Inspirer, Artist)?
The estate has organized Naomi's catalog of work and identity into five thematic chapters: The Icon (her stage and TV image), The Writer (her songwriting, scrapbooks, and books), The Trendsetter (her stage style across four decades), The Inspirer (her RN years and her people-first philosophy), and The Artist (her visual archive, prints, and on-screen work). Each chapter releases its own merchandise and archival material.
Are these officially licensed?
Yes — every Naomi Judd Legacy product at Curated Sense is officially licensed by the Naomi Judd Estate (managed by Hill Entertainment Group). The brand's logo, Naomi's signature, and the 'Love Can Build A Bridge' wordmark are all licensed marks. Counterfeit Naomi Judd merchandise exists across third-party marketplaces; the estate publishes its authorized retailers, and Curated Sense is among them.
How long will the estate keep releasing new material?
The estate has not published an end date. Naomi's archive includes (per Wynonna's own description) 'over a hundred scrapbooks and photo albums, organized by decade, year, month' — material that will likely sustain releases for many years. The Estate's stated approach is to honor what Naomi would have wanted shared, with Wynonna and Ashley's joint approval.
