Welcome to Winks Design Studio, where creativity, resilience, and family come together to craft meaningful, original designs. What started as a homeschool project has grown into a thriving business, built on passion, dedication, and the belief that every great idea begins with a blank canvas.

Our Story
Winks Design Studio was born from a love of art and entrepreneurship. Brea, with a natural affinity for colors and patterns, began her artistic journey at the age of nine. Her passion led her to develop a business plan during her senior year entrepreneurship class—an assignment that became the foundation of Winks Design Studio. In October 2021, alongside her mother Melissa, she officially launched the business, formalizing their partnership in November.

Melissa, with a background in teaching, marketing, and content creation, had already built a successful lifestyle blog and was instrumental in shaping the studio’s growth. While facing personal health challenges, Winks Design Studio became not just a business but a creative escape and a shared dream for the family.

In 2023, Aidan, Brea’s brother and Melissa’s son, officially joined the company, bringing his expertise in digital marketing, photography, videography, and website management. His skills have been essential in expanding our online presence, ensuring that our brand reaches and resonates with a wider audience.

What Makes Us Different
• Hand-drawn, original designs – We start every design from scratch, never using pre-made graphics or SVGs. Every piece is thoughtfully created with care and intention.
• Ethical and eco-friendly production – Our apparel is produced in a sweatshop-free, USA-based facility, and every order is personally packaged and shipped from our North Carolina workshop.
• Family-run and customer-focused – We value relationships over transactions. Whether it's a custom design, a branding package, or a handcrafted gift, we are committed to providing exceptional quality and service.
