JELEEBELLA? started as my instagram handle back in my years living in Italy, snapping pics of la bella vita. I’ve relocated a few times since, but the name stuck. // Jellybelly jellybeans are my favorite! Vibrant colors, unusual flavors, so good.

I’ve always had a passion for creating. From the time I could hold a crayon, I was either working on some sort of art project, or outside exploring. I am inspired by the beauty of nature, by experiencing other cultures, and by the creativity of other artists and designers I’ve met across the world.
Originally from the Philadelphia area, I began my career as an in-house designer at Natural Lands, an environmental non-profit (and still one of my best clients to this day!). After several years, I moved to Milan to continue my education – an international Master’s degree program in Visual Design. An amazing experience immersed in Italian culture & history, and adventures traveling throughout Europe. Post-graduation, I took on new challenges in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. In Portland, OR I worked in agencies with major clients like Nike and Reebok, designing retail environments and campaigns. I’m proud of the work I did, but I’m grateful this experience taught me a valuable lesson about myself: I thrive working one-on-one with clients, or in a smaller team, where I can be more collaborative and build lasting connections.
So, I struck out on my own and started Jeleebella Studio! Most of my clients are community-based organizations, non-profits, and small businesses. I’ve been working with most of my clients for many years, as I truly value the personal side of business and maintaining relationships. Getting to know the people I work with gives me a better understanding of their business style and design needs, and creates an atmosphere of trust and creative freedom. Building my own business has allowed me to combine the things I love: art & design, nature, travel, and of course animals! You may see these themes recurring throughout my work and that’s no coincidence.
