Bella Designs

Founded by Teresa Mandala in 2008, Bella Designs is a virtual advertising studio. We have over 15 years experience serving the marketing, branding and advertising needs of a variety of national clients. We believe enjoying what you do is the key to creating memorable, effective campaigns and messages.

We're glad you asked! We do business in an efficient, effective way: by collecting talent in a virtual office. We aren't a brick and mortar operation, so we don't have high operating costs like other agencies that are tethered in one place. Good thing too, since you don't need or want the extra expense.

Our clients are a joy to work with, even on our most demanding days. The wonderful things they say about us (especially on the days we forget to eat lunch) makes the difficult days fun. For that, we love them. Bella Designs delivered strategy, design and copy that delivered high impact on two national campaigns.

Teresa Mandala grew up in Rockford, Illinois and migrated to Kansas City, where she received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute. Currently, she runs a virtual advertising studio, is an active studio artist, and an instructor at the Kansas City Art Institute.

My love of philosophy and quantum physics inspires my work. I am intrigued by the idea that multiple outcomes exist in a single moment and our focus determines reality. Inspiration can come to me from life experiences, environments, and individuals or from the material itself. I'm constantly questioning my perspective of the "unknown" and how it affects my life.
