Our Staff
Mamba's Creations was founded in 2019 by Carmen D Gonzalez (Mamba) and Alma Gonzalez-Santiago.
Carmen D Gonzalez (Mamba) learned to crochet as a child in the 1950s. Mrs. Gonzalez has been creating unique handmade gifts in both yarn and cotton thread, a very specialized and difficult medium to work in, and creates stunning patterns similar to lace for its delicacy and uniqueness. Mrs. Gonzalez has amassed a personal inventory of several thousand patterns from publications dating back to the early 1920s.
Alma D Gonzalez – Santiago is an entrepreneur with over 25 years’ experience in small business development. Mrs. Santiago owned and operated a successful catering/event space in New York City for over a decade as well as performance dance company for 15 years. As a startup specialist in the 1990s, Mrs. Santiago helped developed nearly 50 small businesses and is pursuing a doctorate in entrepreneurial management. Additionally, Mrs. Santiago was taught to crochet by Mamba in the 1980s.
