It is our mission at Gal at Home® Design Studio to help busy moms and condo dwellers who feel lost or overwhelmed by their surroundings discover the confidence to create homes they truly love and enjoy living in. We believe that your home should be a reflection of your personality and values. We approach every project with a personalized touch, ensuring that your environment isn’t just visually appealing but also feels like home.
Camyl Besinga is the design principal of Gal at Home® Design Studio. She took up classes at the Philippine School of Interior Design, and later on graduated from the New York Institute of Art and Design. She also completed the comprehensive interior design business program The Interior Design Standard, and implemented it in the systems and processes of Gal at Home® Design Studio.
Camyl’s previous career experiences include stints in education, corporate communications, events marketing, print publishing, lifestyle journalism, and digital/social media/email marketing. The Gal at Home® blog, which Camyl manages, has been listed among one of the best interior design blogs in the Philippines since 2022. She recently published her first work of fiction, a romance novella called All the Ways We Stay.
Camyl lives in the Philippines with her husband, Ryan, their two kids, and two senior cats. In her downtime, you can find her geeking out over her collection of interior design books or anything Lord of the Rings, and bingeing shows like The Crown, Downton Abbey, and Outlander. In the not so distant past, Camyl was also the lead vocalist for the electronica trio Techy Romantics.
Gal at Home® Design Studio has since expanded into a small team of eight, comprised of contractual licensed architects, interior designers, interior decorators, and administrative staff.
In 2020, we were one of the first in the Philippine market to officially and exclusively offer eDesign services (online or virtual interior design services). Since then, we have worked with clients from all over the world—from the Philippines to the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Singapore, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.
We have also collaborated with architects, engineers, general contractors, and other independent interior design studios on nonresidential projects, such as a boutique condominium building in Cebu City; furniture store and showrooms; restaurants; and offices all around Metro Manila.
Gal at Home® participated in the Spring 2021 cohort of The Interior Design Standard program, the only interior design business program that “turns a turnkey business model into a wildly profitable design firm.” We have since implemented the Interior Design Standard model in the Gal at Home® systems, processes, and workflows.
Our work has been featured on Real Living, Working Mom magazine, Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin Lifestyle,
nyiad.edu, JCVAssociates.ph, Ask Ms. Myrz, and Mydoma Studio. We have been twice awarded as Best Online Interior Design Services Provider in the Home and Garden Awards 2024 and 2025 by LuxLife Magazine UK, and in 2025 and 2026 received the Client Service Excellence Awards for our “dedication to client experience (evident in organic reviews) and seamless remote service.” In 2026, we were given the LUXLife Best eDesign Studio of the Year award, and BUILD Magazine’s Best Online Interior Design Service award.
Hi! I am your friendly neighborhood Gal at Home®, but my friends and loved ones call me Camyl.
I have always loved seeing other people’s spaces and how they make it work for their own unique lifestyles and preferences. There’s always something new to learn with how people make 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 homes work 𝘧𝘰𝘳 them.
But I’m well aware that there are other people who look at their own spaces and draw a blank when it comes to how they should arrange their furniture, how they should style their surfaces, how they should decorate their spaces.
This is why I went into this business: To help exactly those people who don’t know what to do with their own spaces. I want to help you see your home with fresh eyes. To help you embrace the uniqueness of your home situation. To give you ideas on how to assess your space, plan it correctly, and style it accordingly.
I love helping people refresh their homes, through home styling and interior design techniques I apply in many of my design projects.
My design roots
Ever since I was young, I’ve always enjoyed visiting other people’s homes and seeing the unique, quirky, and creative ways they’ve made spaces all their own.
Growing up, my mother has always made our home “well-dressed,” so to speak. Our house was perfect for our family of five—lots of windows for sunlight, a huge yard to run and have parties in, a library where we could have our fill of books (and tbh, TV and toys, ha!), and a big living room filled with music, laughter, and love. I love that house. I miss that house.
I want to create that same kind of feeling, a similar kind of home, for you.
I know what it means to want such a home for our families. My own home now is far from perfect, but my husband and kids tell me they love it—and that’s what matters.
My background in marketing, communications, and design
Before transitioning to my third career in interior design, I spent years in corporate communications, events coordination, digital and content marketing, and more notably, in magazine publishing.
As an editor for Cosmopolitan Philippines and Working Mom, and a contributing writer for Real Living, Good Housekeeping, Mega, and Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, among many others, I styled sets, photo shoots, and even homes.
This led me to cultivate my love for design, prompting me to take up a few courses at the Philippine School of Interior Design. I’ve since finished Interior Design from the New York Institute of Art and Design.
All about Team Gal at Home®
Gal at Home® Design Studio has since expanded into a small team of architects, designers, decorators and administrative staff, each of whom plays a crucial role in bringing our clients’ visions to life. From concept to final reveal, each project is a result of collective brainstorming, meticulous planning, and a shared commitment to high standards of design and service.
Our architects and designers are the creative engine behind every space we transform. We work hand-in-hand, from ideation to styling, ensuring each design is fresh, functional, and true to the unique personalities and needs of our clients. Whether it’s selecting the perfect materials, coordinating with suppliers, or overseeing the nuances of construction, each designer is a vital piece of our process.
Beyond the design, our administrative staff keep things running smoothly. They juggle the logistics—sourcing items, handling client communication, coordinating with suppliers, and organizing schedules—to make sure our clients’ experience is seamless. Their dedication allows our designers to focus on the art and craft of designing, knowing all the finer details are handled.
Since offering eDesign services to the global market in 2020, our team has worked with clients around the world—from the Philippines to the USA, Canada, Germany, Singapore, Australia, and the UAE. Alongside residential projects, we’ve taken on nonresidential spaces like a boutique condo building, retail stores, property showrooms, and restaurants. Together, we make the distance work, collaborating daily to meet project goals and transform our clients’ spaces, whether they’re next door or across the globe.
Gal at Home®’s work has been recognized on platforms such as Real Living PH, Cosmopolitan, PhilStar Lifestyle and Manila Bulletin Lifestyle. Our team’s hard work and dedication to online interior design were twice rewarded with Best Online Interior Design Services Provider awards in the 2024 and 2025 Home and Garden Awards by LuxLife Magazine UK. We also received their Client Service Excellence Awards consecutively in 2025 and 2026, for our “dedication to client experience (evident in organic reviews) and seamless remote service.” In 2026, we were given the LUXLife Best eDesign Studio of the Year award, and BUILD Magazine’s Best Online Interior Design Service award.
Our goal in all our client projects
Fixing up residential interior spaces excites me, more so when I see our clients enjoy their newly decorated homes. It always brings me back to the warm, fuzzy feeling of being in my own childhood home, and all the wonderful memories we created in it.
Almost a decade in this business has made me realize that refreshing our homes isn’t just about making them pretty. It’s about making one’s home a place you truly and deeply love. And that may mean so many different things for each of our clients.
Our team loves helping people come to terms with what makes their house a home. We love enabling them to find exactly those elements that let them feel at peace with their surroundings. When something doesn’t feel right in their space, we love diving into the how’s and why’s that make them realize exactly what will make their homes reflect their own values and priorities.
That is the Gal at Home® mission. And that is what we hope to help you with.
