History

Hello dears 🩷
I am Paola , the person behind Universo Craft® .
I truly believe that creating is also undertaking , and that's the foundation from which I build everything I do.

Universo Craft was not born as a store, nor is it today.
It is a space for learning , for trial and error, for ideas to be organized and for creativity to find direction.

From a very young age, I was drawn to notebooks, colors, and anything that involved creating with my hands. I remember spending hours decorating my notebooks with whatever materials I had on hand. The popular TV show Art Attack was part of that, but above all, it was my grandmother, Luz Margarita , who taught me that handmade things have intention and emotion. I spent afternoons with my grandmother painting and doing crafts.

I was born on Wednesday, June 30th, so I'm a Cancer. I grew up surrounded by the sea, calm, and creativity in the Caribbean.
That continues to influence my outlook on life... and work (although, to be honest, I don't feel like it's work, I really enjoy what I do)

🎓 To teach (even if it wasn't the direct path)

I always wanted to teach. I got into Pedagogy, but life took me down other paths before bringing me back to the same thing, with more experience and less idealism.

Today, through Universo Craft®, I support women who want to organize their creativity , understand how to turn ideas into projects, and learn to value what they know how to do .

Not from perfect theory, but from real experience.

✨ How I believe and why

I am self-taught .
I learned design, digital files, programs, and processes without formal training. I learned by doing, making mistakes, and adjusting many times.

Notebooks are an important part of my process.
Not because they are "pretty", but because they represent order, focus and calm.

For me, creating is not just a creative act:
It is a way of thinking, of organizing and also —if you want— of undertaking.

🚀 What is Universo Craft today?

Universo Craft® is an online creative school .
A place where I share workshops, classes, files and resources designed to support real processes.

This isn't just about making pretty things.
It's about understanding what you do , giving it structure, and deciding what you want to do with your creativity.

🌿 The human element (because it matters too)

I am inspired by the sea, astrology, reading, and pastel colors.
Tommy and Bimba , my Golden Retrievers, are part of everyday life and beautiful chaos 🐾
And from another perspective, Bull (Polilli) continues to accompany this universe.

🤍 The idea that holds everything together

I don't believe in romanticizing creative burnout.
I believe in:
✨ create with intention
✨ Learn without pressure
✨ Guilt-free entrepreneurship
✨ Build community without unrealistic demands

💫 If you made it this far

It's probably not a coincidence.
This is a space for those who feel that creating can be something more , but don't yet know how to give it shape.
