Becs Bartells is a designer, illustrator and innovator who was born
in Putaruru, on New Zealand’s North Island. She spent part of her
youth growing up in Tasmania before returning to New Zealand and
has lived in Auckland for the past 20 years.
With a Degree with Honours in Industrial Design and a background in
character animation, furniture design and graphic design, Becs has
seen her work exhibited in Milan and bought by a New Zealand PM,
been involved with several start-up businesses and won awards for
innovation.
While she currently works in design, Becs has recently become an
author with her first book,
Go Girl, Go!, which she both wrote and illustrated and which is
about women who have succeeded in interesting careers. It is aimed
at young girls and written in rhyme, to show them that they too can
achieve whatever they set their minds to.
In her free time Becs enjoys painting, playing squash, dancing in
the dark, socialising with friends and travel. As a professional
entrepreneur and someone who is always interested in new
experiences and getting creative, one of her proudest achievements
was starting an eco-coffin business which won her 2 prestigious
design awards.
As far as the future goes, Becs is hoping to continue to be as
creative as possible, while writing and illustrating more books for
children and perhaps inspiring the coming generations to grow,
dream and succeed in life.
