gratefully creating to help you flourish

I’m Gielizza, a brand designer and artist that helps brands shine in the marketplace. Everything I do is springs from the boundless grace of God through Christ Jesus, allowing me to work with faith, joy, and gratitude.

When I’m not immersed in client work, you’ll find me enjoying a bicycle ride, or gushing about my favorite K-pop groups—GOT7, DAY6, and Seventeen (to name a few). I also draw inspiration from their vibrant energy and all-around artistry.

I’m thankful for you for being here!

On diskarte and dependence

This diskarte, fruitful as it has been, has also developed self-sufficiency in me. Forgoing dependence on God because “I got this.” When in hindsight, it wasn’t really my hustle that blessed me, but God’s grace and favor over me.

Fight for your craft
Fight for your craft

AI is on its way to taking over most of the stuff I create for my clients. As an artist myself, I can whine about this all day and side-eye all the designers who started using it and calling it adaptability. But that will only create a cloud of resentment over me and honestly won’t get me anywhere. So instead of making this a wordy rant about AI vs. human artists, I’d like to encourage my fellow creatives to fight for your craft.

The days in between Christmas and New Year often gets me in a sentimental mood, reminiscing about the past year and how I’d always write essays during this “in-between.” This has always felt like the right time to let a stream of memories—the highs and lows, the meh’s and woah’s, ebbs and flows—cascade and remind of me God’s faithfulness.

sometimes I feel like joy is just a concept

As we sang, “I’ve got joy like a river, joy like a river in my soul,” at church earlier today…

Tears were flowing down my cheeks because as I tried singing it, it doesn’t feel true to me.
