TINA AILEEN

HELLO, I'M A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AND A DESIGNER, WHO GETS INSPIRATION FROM LIFE EXPERIENCE, AND MAKES PRINTS BASED ON THE THINGS AROUND DAILY LIFE AND MY PREVIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY WORK. I CREATED THE DESIGNS BASED ON ORIGAMI (ZERO WASTE DESIGN METHOD - I AM ALSO AN ECO-FRIENDLY DESIGNER. I HAVE AN UPCYCLE BRAND CALLED TUNALIEN, STARTED IN 2010.) ANOTHER REASON WHY I USE ZERO WASTE DESIGN METHOD IS BECAUSE I CONSIDER PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE. WHEN THE PRODUCTS ARE MADE WITH BIG PIECES OF FABRICS, WHICH MAKES IT EASIER FOR US TO MAKE THEM INTO OTHER DESIGNS WHEN CUSTOMERS BRING THEM BACK TO US TO RECYCLE. (YES, YOU CAN BRING THEM BACK, WE WILL REUSE THE MATERIAL AND YOU GET A VOUCHER FOR BUYING ANOTHER ITEM FROM US.) I ALSO TRY DIFFERENT WAYS TO MINIMISE WASTE. ALTHOUGH A LOT OF MY DESIGNS CONSIST PRINTS, THE PATTERNS ARE PLACED CLOSE ON THE FABRICS, BUT NOT NECESSARY BASED ON PRINTS PLACEMENT. THE BUTTONS AND ZIPS ARE ALSO EITHER COMING FROM SECOND HAND SOURCE, VINTAGE SHOP OR PRE-LOVED ITEMS. SO NO TWO DESIGNS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. UNLESS CUSTOMERS INDICATE THEY WANT THE DESIGNS EXACTLY THE SAME AS SHOWING ON THE PHOTOS, WE WILL THEN USE SPECIFIC PRINT PLACEMENT AND HABERDASHERY. TO MAKE THE DESIGNS TRUELY FOR THE CUSTOMERS, I ALSO PROVIDE PRINT MAKING SERVICE. I CAN DESIGN A PRINT SHOWING YOUR CHARACTER FOR PARTICULAR DESIGN. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE WORKS AS MUCH AS WE DO!
