About
Hi, I’m Bella. I’m a Graphic Design graduate from Nottingham Trent University. My practice often blends playful illustration, surreal concepts, and food-inspired ideas. I enjoy using irony and sarcasm as a design language — twisting familiar visuals into thought-provoking messages that challenge how we see everyday culture.My recent project, The Flavour of Time, reflects this approach. It’s a collection of twelve illustrated tea towels, each representing a Hong Kong festival linked to a specific month. The designs capture cultural traditions, rituals, and foods in a vibrant, risograph-inspired style. The collection reimagines tea towels as timeless objects — an everlasting calender that reminds us of the continuous cycle of celebration.
The Flavour of Time is all about bringing festivals into everyday life. I created twelve illustrated tea towels, each one representing a Hong Kong festival tied to its month. I love food, colour, and playful illustration, so the project combines all of that with a bold, risograph-inspired style. The idea is that tea towels are like clothes you can “wear” in each month — functional, timeless, and fun — while also keeping cultural traditions alive. Alongside the teatowel, I also made a standing calendar with tracing paper overlays to tell the story of each festival month by month.
