ABOUT

 Paola Zamudio | Founder + Head Designer at npz studio+

npz studio+ started as an interior design studio in 2014 and has evolved into a full-service creative agency engaging in creative direction, branding, art direction, graphic design, social media + event planning. 

Paola is a leader and rule-breaker in the historically hierarchical design industry, where she is on a mission to coach creatives alike under her direction. As a minority in the industry, Paola is a proud Latina leading a team of women and inspiring through design, research, and innovation.  Her projects share a common goal: designing spaces to inspire future generations. This includes curating spaces that promote health + wellness, as well as connecting the dots so that her projects have a distinct brand identity represented physically + digitally. 

NPZ’s work has been recognized by different design, architecture, and industry publications through various features and awards opportunities for her projects, one of which is the world-known project, Bell Works, where Paola has been the Lead Designer + Creative Director since she joined the project in 2014. Bell Works is continuing to grow and flourish across the U.S. with a location in NJ and IL, which can be attributed to Paola’s passion for the brand + design of the project.

CEO, Paola Zamudio, is an alumna of Polimoda with a Master's Degree in Trend Forecasting, received a Bachelor of Arts and Science from Barry University with a specialty in Communications and a minor in Musical Theater. Paola also attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for their Fashion Styling and Image Consulting Programs, The New School for their Interior Design Program, and most recently Future London Academy for their Executive Design Leaders Program.

Paola’s design work can be attributed to her cultural experiences, from traveling to different corners of the world to paying homage to her Colombian roots. Biophilia has always been a part of her design perspective due to her appreciation and understanding of plants in daily life. She is a designer, a collector, a researcher, and she’s always adding to her mind’s ever-developing mood board to bring to her projects a unique approach and one of a kind results.
