Hello, I’m Bella. This is my digital garden :) I’m a designer, writer, and artist. I was inspired by a friend to make this space! I see it as a place to publicly flesh out my thoughts — by doing so, I hold myself accountable for synthesizing my learning and ideas.
My philosophy toward knowledge and learning: what’s the point of consuming all this information that’s constantly thrown at me from different directions if I don’t choose what’s important to me, synthesize it, and make it my own?
I love contemplating fate, eternity, love, and loss. Use the links below as a starting point to explore my garden!
