One swipe at her perfectly-curated feed of saturated hues in red, blue, yellow and Crayola brights is 26-year old Alyssa Gibbs. The co-founder of local brand Neon Island dishes on her career change as a child actress-turned-grade school teacher and eventually, a girl boss of her own.
You may consider her showbiz royalty, an heir-apparent to actors Janno Gibbs and Bing Loyzaga in the entertainment industry, but Chi doesn’t allow her last name to dictate or otherwise overshadow who she is and can still be. Yes, she may have played minor roles alongside her father in the past, but this was a direction that she could not see herself basking in forever. “I used to be a grade school teacher,” she divulges. No wonder she had an illuminating sense of effortless sophistication and humility during the entire shoot as she carefully explained in-between takes how her brainchild, Neon Island, which she co-founded with her high school best friend has blossomed into where it is now.
