Bella joined DunnHillam shortly after completing her Master of Architecture at the University of Sydney. She was shortlisted for the Brian Patrick Keirnan prize for her studio project focused on reinventing public space in the regional town of Cobar. Excited by the challenges and problem solving required to shape public space and the built environment, she strives to deliver meaningful outcomes for community.

During her postgraduate studies, Bella took part in an exchange program at TU Delft in the Netherlands. Living and studying abroad provided the opportunity to expand her creative thinking and approach to design. Bella also took the time to travel, experiencing the built environment in an array of cultures and climates. Before joining DunnHillam, Bella worked for multiple award winning practices, contributing to multi-residential and seniors' living projects.  

Bella fills her time outside of the office with activity, favouring social sport and cooking. In her downtime she'll either have a book in hand or be working on her latest handmade project, most likely involving yarn.
