Born and raised in Southern California. I’m married to a wonderful man that inspires me and builds community. My greatest joy is being the mother to four handsome boys. I love creating and making little gifts for family and friends as well as gathering with them on a regular basis.

Things I love outside my “job” are the outdoors, love hiking, going to the beach and exploring nature. I feel it’s a great time to breath, reflect and re-energize for the ride ahead.

Being the Co-Founder and General Manager here at RG Studio 360 is so inspiring and transformational, it gives me purpose and allows me to create worthwhile accomplishment.

Hi Crafty Friends!

My name is Shell Sirimarco. I’m a small-town girl with a heart for God. I was born and raised in a small mining town called Clifton, Arizona. I’ve always felt that growing up in such a small town taught me the value of each person I meet in a more personal way. I also felt very limited and not able to meet new people. I now live in the Phoenix area and enjoy connecting/networking with people. My original professional background is in massage therapy and wellness so you may see a sprinkle of health facts in our posts! I love learning, reading, and sharing any knowledge I obtain that may help others. It is a true blessing to have this opportunity to work for RG Avenue to help grow and build this amazing community! I’ve always loved social media and I still have lots to learn about it! I love how it brings people together in a way that may otherwise have never occurred. I consider our RG Community like my hometown…small, full of heart and too special not to share with others.

I have one amazing and inspirational Daughter named Mia who is 15 years old, and loves crafting/creating! She’s always willing and ready to help create for our RG Family!

Thanks for taking some time to learn about me! Feel free to reach out and connect with me on our social media sites! Let’s make AMAZING happen every day! Be well friends! 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽

Crafting has been my life since I can remember. My parents have had a “stamp room” growing up and it’s been in our family since I was baby. Recently graduated High School and have dove in to learning the “business” side of what my parents do. There is certainly more to it than making pretty things as my dad would say. I love to create myself, I guess you can say it’s in my blood. I am moved by music and love to play and learn different instruments, currently fascinated with the electrical guitar. I hope to be a paid musician one day and proud to have recorded my bands first demo song. Hoping to learn more from my parents as they keep following their passion and teach me to follow mine.

What’s up? My name is Joe. Graphic Designer/ Illustrator. Born December 23 1987 on a cold winter night. On that day so many lives changed. My parents received a new favorite baby boy and my brothers received a new favorite baby brother. It was tough not becoming everyone’s favorite but it happened anyway and now I live with it. I consider myself a Modern Gentleman. I don’t cheat, I don’t steal… Well, only in Monopoly. *don’t make me banker* I love what I do and who I do it for. It puts a smile on my face seeing all the beautiful creations made by our talented crafters. I strive for excellence in everything I do and I do it for my beautiful girlfriend, her incredible son, and my amazing family. I am truly blessed.

Hello there crafters! My name is Kerry Urbatch and I live in the suburbs of Washington DC with my teacup Schnauzer Mighty Mason. I am a Coffee-Loving Kindergarten teacher by day and a crafty mad-woman all week long! While Mason is snoozing or cuddling beside me, I’m crafting and making a beautiful mess! I’ve got a passion for making one-of-a-kind cards and hardly ever sit down and plan a project. I haven’t quite pinpointed my style but there are a few things that are unmistakably ME: layers, fibers and pretty backgrounds. Do I love to color? YES! How about fussy cutting? You betcha! What about doodling? Ummm, yes indeed! I’m in love with the process of creating, and that’s just what I sit down and do! I always have a fresh cup of coffee at my side and when I’m old and gray, I hope to own a pottery studio right beside my crafty cave…Until then, I will collect a treasure trove of handmade mugs, teapots and vessels and use them every day. I’m so thrilled to be joining the team and can’t wait to share my love of crafting with you!

Hi, I’m Isha Gupta. I live in Switzerland with my husband and two daughters. My passion for stamping started a few years ago. I don’t follow a particular style but I tend towards CAS cards which feature a technique or two. I absolutely adore coloring using various mediums, so my cards are often colorful and uplifting. I like to explore new techniques and also enjoy creating paper projects, Travelers Notebook, scrapbook pages, paintings and mixed media projects.

I’ve been lucky to have been published in various magazines in the US and UK and to have had the opportunity to work and guest-deisgn with some awesome teams in the industry. I’m super excited to join RG Studio 360!

If I am not stamping and creating, I love cooking, baking, gardening, reading or going for long walks as it’s so beautiful where I live.

Martha Lucia Gomez. I was born in Colombia, but I live in Miami, USA. My first language is Spanish, which is why my blog is sometimes written in Spanish; but don’t worry, I have a translate button. I studied Social Communications and Journalism, but I’ve loved crafts forever. I used to work with metal jewelry, but one day I discovered stamps, ink, and paper, and now it is my passion. I’ve realized that working with paper crafts is the best therapy.
I live with my husband and our two daughters. I divide my time between my family, my work in a Public Relations Company and my passions: my blog and crafting on various design teams. I love to create cards, 3D’s and alter different projects because I love to learn new techniques. I look forward to working on this Design Team and sharing my passion with all of you.
I love to travel, visit art galleries, try new foods and visit Disney, as a long-time Florida resident. I find my inspiration in simple things. My style is clean and simple but don’t misunderstand me – I love the simple things plus the techniques and work involved in it. Experimenting with new things is my passion and mixing products is my therapy. I love stamps, die cuts, stencils and of course all type of inks. I can tell you that I work on my crafts every single day and this is one of the ways that I found to give thanks to God for all that He gives me every day.

I love to share my creations, so you will always find me easily on Social Media outlets as Martha Lucia or Stampartpapel.
