Belle started as a quiet knowing. Before there was a name, there was a pull.
|
|
I was young, twenty one to be exact, and had that naivety that sets you free.
I thought to myself, “Can I tether my existence to the process of creating?”
That is when Belle became.
|
|
At first, it was completely innocent, purely exploration.
Making things with friends, for friends.
There is a sweet uncertainty of creating something that is unfolding as you go,
all consuming even. Somewhere along the way, it started to take shape, becoming formative, a real brand.
|
|
Belle has grown with me, beside me, through all my seasons.
It has mirrored something inside, not just an extension, more like a reflection,
a mirror, a way forward. It is an intimate extension from myself, a becoming.
|
|
Intrinsic from the start, there was no goal in mind other than to follow intuition and create.
Belle grew into something beyond me, something incredible that I am grateful for, but with growth came distance.
Distance reveals clarity, guides you to a reminder of origin—
reflection to the beginning, the most honest part of where I began.
|
|
Belle has been a coming of age.
A continuation, a shedding, a remembering, a next page of the same story—
one that has been unfolding for a while now, the name just needed to catch up.
|
|
With care, I made space, not to start over, but to begin again with intention.
What started as Belle has grown into something more certain.
My name has been behind the brand.
Now, it songs alongside it.
|
|
The new name, BELLE ANNA, is a simple shift.
But it’s one that feels closer to the core.
A tethering to self, to intention, to the reason this all began in the first place.
