About Desiree

Desiree Colonna, artist and founder of Inking Big Studio

I’ve been drawing for over 30 years. Characters, calligraphy, and lines that make a brand feel human.

In 1998 I founded Bella Web Design, Inc., one of the first web design agencies in the country. I still own Inkwell Designers, my printing and event agency — the studio behind live personalization and cold embossing for companies that want a luxury feel to their events.

I've worked with Marriott, Salesforce, Ferrari, JP Morgan, Cisco, Google, American Express, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, EY, BCG, BlackRock, Zillow, Workday, Christian Dior, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Dillard’s, Whole Foods, and Chick-fil-A. Fortune-level expectations. Owner on the floor. Work that has to land fast and look right.

Inking Big Studio brings that same standard to character design. I draw custom mascots and brand faces for Direct to Consumer brands — by hand, no AI generator — so a candle shop, café, kids line, or snack brand can feel as memorable as the names above.

Thirty years of drawing. Decades of running studios. Now it’s your brand’s little guy, inked on purpose.

Based in Georgia. Working with brands everywhere.
