About

Hi, I’m Bella Southwell, a Sydney-based creative who’s currently in the final year of my Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Recently I took part in a semester exchange at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where my focus has been on printing, animation, comics, and game design. I’m passionate about turning ideas into clear visual storytelling through strong design choices and thoughtful execution.

Outside my studies, I enjoy hands-on creative projects like game jams and volunteering as a Dungeon & Dragons session leader at a local game store. I’ve also developed professional experience across art and media roles (including game-related work, video editing, and design support), and I’m comfortable collaborating with others while also working independently. I love learning new tools, refining my process, and contributing to community-based creative initiatives.
