Tinousi, a Samoan designer born in New Zealand and now residing in Australia, is the creative force behind Tinousi Design. After studying Graphic Design in 2014, Tinousi took a hiatus to refine her craft and has since returned with a renewed vision. Her work embodies a blend of traditional Pasifika elements with a modern twist, celebrating her cultural heritage while appealing to a contemporary audience.

Tinousi’s designs draw inspiration from her deep-rooted connections to her Samoan heritage, particularly her father’s Taupou title from the esteemed regions of Salelologa, Savai’i, and Lefaga. She also honors the strong, influential presence of her mother from Savalalo and Vaoala. Tinousi's work is a tribute to her late parents, whose teachings on culture, identity, belonging, and legacy continue to inspire her creations.

Dedicated to representation and authenticity, Tinousi Design offers a safe space for all to explore and express their cultural identities with pride and confidence. Through her art, Tinousi aims to inspire her son and others, ensuring the legacy of her forebearers lives on.

At Celebrate Aotearoa, we are proud to feature Tinousi’s distinctive and meaningful creations, inviting you to experience and embrace the rich tapestry of Pasifika culture through her designs.
