Amber Kemp-Gerstel Artist
1. Tell us about yourself. My name is Amber Kemp-Gerstel. I live in Miami, Florida with my husband and two sons; Markus (8 years old) and Maxwell (3 years old). 2. What is your crafting story? I’ve always been creative and crafty. Since I was very young I enjoyed making things. As an adult, I fell in love with cardmaking and soon started a blog as a hobby and a way to share my creations with other people. I had no plans of turning this hobby into anything more. As the blog became more popular, I had the opportunity to create content for magazines and even Martha Stewart. Soon, I was receiving offers for paid partnerships with some of my favorite crafting companies! That’s why I decided I might be able to turn my passion for crafting into a career. With some thoughtful planning and the support of my husband, I left my full-time career as a child psychologist and embarked on a career as a blogger and content creator. Eventually, my work as a content creator grew into opportunities in television! I’m fortunate to have appeared on Good Morning America, Today Show, and Making It, and hosted my own show on Disney+ called Disney Family Sundays. 3. What is your “why”? I love sharing doable DIY with my community and inspiring people to be creative even if they don’t think they can.
