About
Giant Squid Creative is a design and consulting studio run by Kenny Colvin, with the help of collaborators and co-conspirators like Victoria Black, Kim Sielbeck, Danielle Malmgren, Nick Gazin and Merlin’s Magic Signs.
Founded in 2006 in New York City, as Giant Squid Press, we started off as a graphic design and letterpress printing studio. With a memorable, impactful brand, we made a name for ourselves specializing in high-end custom designed and printed wedding invitations, concert posters and brand collateral for bars and restaurants. As the years went by, we found our studio work and client list gravitating more towards branding, packaging, UI UX, and social media strategy. Because of this, in 2016, to better reflect the full range of services we provide, the design studio that specializes in re-branding, re-branded itself as Giant Squid Creative.

Giant Squid Creative statement about AI:
Here at Giant Squid Creative, we come from a fully analog background and that spirit informs everything that we do to this day, even when working digitally. That said, we are not luddites and recognize that times change and technology changes.
AI is here and it is here to stay. Though we know how to use gen AI to create images and video, we only use it at our clients request. When using AI we try and use in the most ethical ways possible. If you’d like to know more about our position, feel free to contact us below.
