Acerca de nuestro proyecto.

God is a designer® es un proyecto de indumentaria de propiedad latina conceptualizado en 2008 y lanzado en 2020 por Angel A. Acevedo , con sede en Miami, Florida.

GIAD™ is a Miami-based project from Puerto Rican creative director Angel Acevedo. It’s inspired by the Genesis of creation: “In the beginning, God created.” The very first action we’re given in the story of existence is an act of creation, bringing something out of nothing.


We see that as a reminder. Creativity is an innate gift. A timeless superpower everyone carries. It lives dormant until we choose to activate it, and we believe that spark originates from the imagination of a Creator.

Our mission is to awaken that creative spirit and encourage makers to use their craft with intention. We do this through clothing and products that blend streetwear with techwear-adjacent design, all grounded in the idea that what we make can shape the world around us.

Clean design even better message

Being a designer, there is always a fine line between too much and not enough. Everything is about the message. The design is the vessel for that message. This piece walks the line perfectly in order to communicate the message that “God is a designer”. The hat is very well made and the colors are unique and catch the eye. It is a conversation starter for sure. Just be ready to share the message!

My Go-To GIAD Hat ✨

This has quickly become my favorite hat to wear with the rest of my GIAD merch. I love the way the pop of orange brings out the subtle orange details in my CRE8TOR and Graphical System shirts.

Incredible branding. Fits amazing. Cant wait to wear it everywhere.

Another great piece.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!

The construction and feel is top tier! I love the small design details like the inside tag, the logo stitching inside the hat, and the sturdiness of the hat overall. To top it off the receipt is a really cool poster as well! Sustainability for the win! 🏆

Beautiful hat! Just haven’t worn it yet because the brim isn’t curved enough so I don’t love how it looks on me, but I’m excited to wear it once I curve it a bit more!

Absolutely love this shirt for its simplicity, comfort and the fit! I had to wear it twice in a row. Definitely one of my favorite shirts now. I hope they release more with this type of fit + material

Beautiful design as always, and it’s comfortable

LOVE IT!!! I can feel the text. It’s just so beautiful

I love the design and the quality of the product 🥰

Great!

I was lucky to receive this superb cap via their last International Shipment (due to tarrifs). Proud of it, looks great!

My Absolutely Essential, Go-To Daily Gear

I’ve bought these God Is A Designer hats at least 10–15 times—and I’ll keep buying them. These aren’t just accessories; they’ve become a staple in my life. Whether I’m speaking, teaching, designing, playing with my kids, or just living life around Hawaii, this hat is on my head. It’s my go-to, no matter the setting.

The quality is 100, the design is 100, and the brand itself is 100. Out of every brand in my wardrobe, GIAD is the only one I rock that I didn’t personally design. That says something.

What’s more powerful? This simple statement has sparked meaningful conversations with people of all faiths—and even those without faith. It’s subtle, bold, and full of truth.

Highly recommend. If you’re looking for gear that speaks without saying too much and holds up in every setting, GIAD delivers. Every. Time.

Great Quality, Design & Message

As a graphic designer, I truly appreciate all the design details, and I of course love the message. Quality printing and material. I just bought the sweatpants to complete the set.

The shirt is great quality! The material is on the thicker side. It's also oversized imo, if you want a more fitted style, order down. I ordered a large, should have ordered a medium.

Who doesn’t love stickers

Hi quality stickers with great graphics and effects.

Great color combination

This shirt is comfortable and has a good feel. The design and colors look great.

Design with a message

This hat has a great fit. The message and the large registered symbol really stand out.

Subtle never looked so good!

This shirt is made well and has a nice weight to it. The design is subtle, but effective.

Stylish and feels good!

Love this hat! Great conversation piece

Great quality
