About
Cheesemaker and designer
Amsterdam
Paula's journey as an interior and product designer is deeply interwoven with her rich cultural heritage and personal experiences. Born in Mexico, her life's trajectory took her from Memphis to Chile to France and currently the Netherlands. These diverse cultural influences are evident in her work, particularly her love for vibrant colours and dynamic designs, a nod to her Mexican roots.
Her connection to food, especially traditional Mexican cuisine, plays a pivotal role in her creative expression. In Amsterdam, a longing for Chilean cheese inspired her to explore cheese-making, leading to the creation of 'Shaping Cheese' - a series of elegantly designed porcelain moulds for home cheese-making.
This culinary venture extended into 'De Kaasserie,' where Paula merges her design expertise with her passion for food. Through cheese-making workshops, she offers others the opportunity to create and share in the joy of artisanal cheese. For Paula, 'De Kaasserie' is not just a business, but a personal space where she reconnects with her heritage and invites others to discover their own sense of belonging through the art of cheese-making.
