About Norma Rapko
She is the Latina Martha Stewart in her own right.
Norma is her brand. Walk into her home and her style leaps off her walls. Her
fashion sense is a walking billboard of her artistic style. With a personality
that sparkles brighter than the crystals she decorates with, her magnetic
personality lights up a room! To know her is to love her! She is an artful soul
with a missionary heart! Although she is gifted to make all things beautiful,
she is not afraid to get her hands dirty during missionary trips to Mexico and
building homes for families in need. She currently teaches crafting workshops
for her church as a ministry, and has as many as 120 students attending per
workshop!
With all that said, and as comfortable as it is to be
around her, Norma Rapko Vargas is very accomplished! She is an inventor,
designer, author and on camera talent. Norma has been featured in ‘Summerset
Magazine’ and ‘Where Women Create’ to name a few. She is the author of ‘Embellished Memories’ published by
Martingale&Co. Norma is also a respected and sought after product developer
of a signature line of picture frames, jewelry and home décor marketed and sold
worldwide. She was also involved in product development for Home Goods and
various others. Norma was the first featured designer of Plaid Craft T.V., as
she is a Latina crafting celebrity and was recently awarded the National Latina
Business Women of the Year for
Arts and Production. She has also been featured on NBC and Univision. Her
most recent achievement is becoming an ‘inventor’ of an innovative tool that
will literally revolutionize the application of crystals worldwide, partnering
with Walnut Hollow (One of the most respected companies in the industry.) And
becoming the national spokesperson for her own product line, expect to see her
tool featured in Box stores nationwide and worldwide.
Norma Rapko Vargas started in very humble beginnings,
the daughter of immigrant parents, a carpenter and a seamstress. Norma spent
her summers working in her grandparents sewing factory where she developed her
entrepreneurial spirit and her love and passion for creativity. And what
appeared as starting her business by accident on her kitchen table needing to find
a picture frame for her picture, this prolific artist would soon find out it
was a divine providence. She had a gift, and soon began sharing it with the
world. Norma communicates with passion and purpose, and is an enthusiastic
crusader of what is possible. She will continue inspiring those around her to
pursue their dreams and not to settle for less than what God intends them to
be!
It was such a pleasure meeting you a week ago, today. Norma you planted a powerful seed and spoke to my heart that night. You were oh so head on when it came to the "shift". Once I said those last words of my pitch I felt the "shift" and knew it was my time to "show up".
