Needle Felting Animal Creation

Katerin Gómez is a craft lover and professional toy creator specialized in the needle felting technique. She graduated in drawing and illustration from La Escuela Nacional de Caricatura, the first illustration school in Colombia, where she worked for almost ten years as a designer, teacher, and events and exhibitions organizer. After returning to Bogotá, following a short but transformative experience at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lucerne, Switzerland, she switched up her career and opted for her great childhood passion: creating characters.

Now she combines her illustration training and her desire to tell stories by designing and making unique dolls in her creative toy store, Juanamatú.
