MY Story

My name is Danielle, “AKA” The Cheese Lady D. (That’s what they call me these days-even my besties) I was born and raised in Orange County, CA, currently based in Murrieta, CA. I live here with my incredible Fiancé and his two amazing boys who are 12 & 9. (They keep me busy when I’m not pouring or living cheese) OH! Don’t forget our fun-loving dogs, Nikki Minaj (The spicy Pomeranian) and Arrow. (The sweetest doodle mix- family protector you could ever ask for) Ask me about the names when we get to meet that usually sparks questions.  

I graduated with my B.A. in Legal Studies with a minor in organizational leadership from the Chapman University System. I still hold my current R.E. License, but cheese & resin is my game these days. I have spent the last 22 years in the Real Estate industry from sales to property management and more recently, the software client side. 

 I have ALWAYS been passionate about art.  If you know me well, you have attended my annual pumpkin painting parties with a charcuterie spread and mimosa bar. Let’s just say I like to entertain, cook, and create. I guess that is where this all started. I have always been inspired by the ocean. I started with my charcuterie, then creating my ocean art that led to preserving beautiful flowers that turned into a dream I want to live every day, WHILE EATING CHEESE.  

So here I am, delighted to create art and preserve your most precious memories, and even cater those events. 

 Thank you for considering The Cheese Lady D for your next event or special gift.

“It’s going to be Gouda, and I never apologize for being CHEESY!” 

CHEERS! TheCheeseLadyD
