Ella G.

First Place Winner: Ella G.
Woodland Hills, CA

Congrats to our October
T-Shirt Contest Winner!

See Ella’s inspired artwork transformed into a ready-to-sell tee from Gabb.

“My design shows Gabb Life written in a graffiti-like style that I created. To represent activities you can do to live a life outside the screen, I included biking, dancing, and skating. On the spray paint bottle, I have a C.K. in memory of Collin Kartchner [founder of #savethekids] who has changed all our lives. I can’t wait to get my first Gabb phone!”

  • More about Ella

    Ella has been creating art for as long as she can remember. As a toddler, she would create collages with any material she could find around the house. As she grew, her artistic interests expanded to acting and musical theater. In kindergarten, she brought home a flyer from school for an Annie production and told her parents, “I need to be in this!” And sure enough, it was her calling. This led her to many auditions all over Los Angeles. She has performed in 10 professional-style theatrical shows and even a national commercial! She is self-taught in visual arts, with some influence from her graphic designer mom. Last year, they even published a book together! With all the painting Ella did this year during quarantine, she decided to auction off some pieces and donate her earnings to the Humane Society to help animals in captivity. This time at home has given Ella more time for her other love: dancing. She also loves playing with her 3 and 7-year-old siblings. Ella is currently 11 years old and still does not have a phone. Though it is the trend among her 6th grade peers, she has taken Collin Kartchner’s [founder of #savethekids] advice to heart. She couldn’t design a t-shirt for Gabb Life without honoring him in some way. She is also inspired by different cultures from around the world (including her own Salvadoran heritage) and the beaches of Southern California. She sends 8-second hugs to everyone!

“I chose to paint this shirt design because I love the ocean. I think we should enjoy nature and what it has to offer, and not be stuck on a screen all day. I love that my Gabb phone keeps me connected to friends and keeps me safe.”
