Hi, my name is Bella Donner

I’m a Communications major with a minor in Public Relations at Auburn University, and I’m deeply passionate about the intersection of creativity, visual storytelling, and brand identity. I’ve always been inspired by the power of design how it can shape a message, elevate an experience, and make people feel something. That combination of beauty and intention is what motivates me in every project I take on.

I’m originally from Birmingham, Alabama, where I grew up in a family that deeply values hard work, responsibility, and humility. I started my first job at 13 and continued working throughout high school, experiences that taught me independence, discipline, and how to adapt quickly in any environment. Those early lessons built the foundation for how I approach my work today with dedication, curiosity, and a commitment to going above and beyond. They’ve carried me through college and into my early career, shaping the way I collaborate with others, manage responsibilities, and pursue opportunities with intention.

Throughout my academic and professional experiences, I’ve built a foundation in both creative strategy and hands-on content development. Through roles with Chptr, Bridge2Rwanda, and Abide and Lead, I’ve had the opportunity to manage social media platforms, develop branding campaigns, coordinate events, and create digital content across a variety of mediums. These experiences taught me how to think critically about an audience, communicate clearly through both visuals and language, and ensure that every detail contributes to a cohesive and authentic story.

I’ve always been drawn to fashion, lifestyle, and design spaces where aesthetics and communication naturally come together. I love exploring how brands create identity, cultivate community, and express themselves through choices in tone, imagery, and experience. Whether I’m creating content, shaping a narrative, refining a visual concept, or supporting a team behind the scenes, I enjoy the process of bringing ideas to life in a way that feels meaningful and intentional.

My strengths lie in my creativity, my attention to detail, and my ability to understand and elevate a brand’s voice. I’m energized by collaboration, driven by curiosity, and committed to producing work that is thoughtful, polished, and visually compelling. I thrive in environments where I can learn from others, contribute to a shared vision, and continually grow my skills in design, branding, and storytelling.

As I continue building my career, I hope to work with teams and brands that value authenticity, beauty, purpose, thoughtful communication, and strategic PR, whether in fashion, lifestyle, creative direction, public relations, or digital media. I’m excited for opportunities that allow me to contribute my perspective, learn new tools, and deepen my understanding of how great storytelling, strategic communication, and great design come together.
