Amigurumi Artist

Jocelin González studied connectivity and network engineering, but it wasn't long after graduating that she decided to turn her passion for crafts into her career. Ever since she made the leap, she has been experimenting with the textures of punch needle and crochet to create unique pieces that she shares with her followers on Instagram.

When she's not embroidering or crocheting, she creates patterns and instructions for her designs so others can follow along and shares her knowledge with an ever-growing body of students. Over the course of her career, she's built her own universe of fun characters for children and the inner child all adults have.
