Donna
Hey! I’m Donna. So, about me… well, I’m originally from the Chicago suburbs, but I live in the UK now! I never really planned on doing content creation, t-shirt design, or modeling, but stepping into it on my own terms with Donna Studio has been amazing. I am LOVING it!
Ok, a couple things about me: I love music. Specifically, oldies… you know, grunge/90s rock… sorry to break your heart, but those ARE oldies to me! 🤣 On the plus side, those oldies are timeless 😘 You’ll see my favorites if you follow me on Instagram, because I can’t help but use the good stuff on all my posts.
Besides music, I am OBSESSED with good pizza (Chicago-style or bust 🍕). I generally can’t stop talking about pizza, I have a whole philosophy around it… OH! And retro games like Sonic and Mario... love them! But I am in a very deep relationship with Mario Kart World. I also ramble…so much… 🤣🤣🤣
And I love movies! I almost forgot that. I love movies so much, like a LOT. I try to go to the movies every week if I can. TV shows too, they are kinda the same these days. 🤣
So you’ll notice that my interests heavily influence the merch and graphic tees we design here at Donna Studio. I am not sure if the world needs that many pizza shirts, but I kinda don’t care either! 🤣🤣🤣
Anywho, thank you for reading this far and for exploring the studio. I hope you find something you love here!

Hi. I’m Katy. If Donna is the cheerful, pizza-obsessed light of Donna Studio, I’m the one operating behind the lens, usually from the shadows, with a beverage in hand. I’m the resident photographer, resident creative headache, and the artist responsible for turning our chaotic brain-dumps into actual graphic design and merch you’d actually want to wear.
A few things you should know about me: I’m obsessed with the visual arts, black and white photography, and pushing sexy visual boundaries. I handle the art direction here, which mostly means keeping Donna’s endless enthusiasm grounded and making sure our shoots and apparel hit the mark we are striving for.
When I don't have a camera strapped to my face or a canvas open on my screen, I’m usually experimenting with new design concepts for the shop or finding subtle ways to mess with Donna. I like my art seductive, my tea green, and my humor slightly cynical.
So if you like merch with a little extra edge, a darker vibe, and actual artistic flair… you’re welcome. Enjoy the shop 🖤✨
