Brands I’ve Worked With

Fancy meeting you here!

I’m Bella, an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in the Bay Area, where I live with my husband and two kids. Inspired by food, travel, and celebration, I started Bee Creates in 2022 to share joy through vibrant, playful art.

Today, my work spans licensing, creative collaborations, and teaching. My mission is to help everyone “Have a Colorful Day” whether that be through joyful illustrations, thoughtful products, playful animation, or encouraging classes. I’m so glad you’re here and can’t wait to see what we create together!
