Hello and welcome! My name is Gizella Calingo, an Australian-Filipino owner and founder of GIZELLA, an exciting online store based in the vibrant city of Sydney, Australia. As a passionate filmmaker, designer, and writer (Buzzfeed, SBS Radio Filipino, WIX and more), I have also worked in film and art direction, set and production design, prop making, and website design (I made and designed this nostalgia 80s to 90s inspired website). My creative journey extends into interactive games, interactive installation art, digital and tech art, filters and more. 

​

Additionally, I am the owner and founder of Gizella Films @gizellafilms, produced captivating film projects, and Gizella's Life @gizellalife, showcasing my life and adventures from the past to the present.

​

I am self-taught and have acquired my skills independently. My artistic vision continuously explores different avenues to bring stories to life through visuals and design. My work is not merely just products but art pieces collections that add realism and authenticity, leaving you intrigued and curious.

​

"As an Australian-Filipina who grew up in Singapore and Thailand, I have had the privilege of living and travelling in seven different countries 🌍, including The Philippines 🇵🇭, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, Singapore 🇸🇬, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Thailand 🇹🇭, Cambodia 🇰🇭 and Australia 🇦🇺, since I was six years old. This has allowed me to learn and appreciate diverse stories that appeal to different cultures around the world and inspired my collections."

At GIZELLA, after initial use, most of my products are perfect for other creative projects, some can be used as home décor, and why not give the others to someone special?
