About

My journey began at the St. Joost Academy in Breda, where I discovered and developed my passion for graphic design. After many years of working as a designer, I took a leap in 2012 and founded my own lifestyle label. That’s how Tinne+Mia was born.

My love for paper and textiles, graphic prints, and striking typography is unmistakable in everything I create. The designs are minimalist and timeless, infused with a touch of French joie de vivre—classic with a wink—and a bold Scandinavian twist. They stand out through a strong sense of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a palette of soft powder tones combined with daring, contemporary colors. It’s no surprise that Tinne+Mia products can now be found all over the world, in concept stores and museum shops.

Alongside continuously developing my own collection, I thoroughly enjoy working with other companies. This can range from graphic or product design to publishing products under private labels or offering creative consultancy. I see the diversity in target audiences and brand styles as a welcome and inspiring challenge.

With love,
Karien

Tinne+Mia was founded in 2012 by Karien Kuijpers and Marjan Godrie.
