Isabella Etna is a student of the Master of Architecture at the Melbourne School of Design. Bella has avidly participated in co-curricular activities at the University of Melbourne since commencing in 2015.

Bella has led the student-run organisation, Built Industry Group, for over two years at the MSD to advocate for multi-disciplinary collaboration and enable students to meaningfully engage with the industry.

Her passion for advocating for young professionals and drive to promote debate in design led to the inception of agm in 2015, a student and graduate run publication (https://www.agmelbourne.com). Bella founded agm as a way to provoke informal discussion and debate between her peers. This continues to be a central focus of the publication that she co-edits with Kevin Huynh, as well as creating a platform for students and young professionals in Melbourne.

Bella is passionate about architectural history and is especially interested in Italian architecture. Particularly the period of The School of Venice led by Giuseppe Samonà which was the focus of her Independent Thesis in Semester 1 2020 supervised by Alan Pert and Scott Woods.
