Anitra Terrell, Founder of Reflektion Design

Angela Belt • Mar 14, 2022

I’m so excited to continue with the good vibes this Women’s History Month with my latest interview with Anitra Terrell, owner of Reflektion Design. I’m so excited to have this interview with Anitra because we became friends through social media years ago, and we still have never meant in person but I have always admired Anitra’s business, and I have been sourcing from Reflektion Design for years. I wanted to talk about how has her business pivoted in the new normal since with so many manufacturing delays especially with vendors abroad. I also wanted to talk about how she continues to grow her brand through her Society6 collection , and her Blog series, How We Live .

Anitra Terrell is an Atlanta based creative entrepreneur and business owner with over 15 years experience producing exhibits and cultural events in the arts, music and product space.

The Philadelphia native has a Bachelor’s of Science & MBA in Marketing and was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, West Africa. Ghana is where Anitra spent 8 weeks immersed in the culture and history of African art and textiles.

Her company, Reflektion Design is an Afro modern lifestyle brand for people who love cultural, heirloom quality decor with heritage and story. She works directly with artisans in Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda to produce an assortment of handmade wall art, tableware, throw pillows, jewelry, baskets and more.

Her passion is educating the community about African arts and culture while helping customers and design professionals create transformative spaces that feel fully expressed.

The company mantra is, See yourself at home.

A home tour series started by Anitra to showcase the Black experience at home.
