Amara Bell
The Collector. Art, heritage and the stories rooms tell.
About this persona
Amara writes about collecting: art, textiles, and furniture with a story, with a strong focus on Black designers, artists and Black-owned brands, and on the African diaspora's influence on American design.
How Amara writes
Warm, erudite, storytelling. Names designers, makers and movements accurately. Mixes design history with practical how-to (hanging heights, lighting art, budget collecting).
Beat
A room starts telling the truth about you the day you hang the first thing you actually love.
