“A picture is worth a thousand words!”
Mirijam Neve ミリ is a designer from the Netherlands. You can find her designs and artworks on many items like on T-shirts, postcards, posters, but also digital on websites and social media.
Mirijam grew up living on her family’s boat, traveling along the rivers and canals of western Europe. Colorful life on, and in the water, is a recognizable theme in her illustrations.
In her spare time, Mirijam is working on hand-printing techniques, like screen printing, pattern stamps, and bingata. Bingata is a traditional textile dye resist technique, similar to batik, with its origin in Okinawa Japan.
In 2022, Uniqlo Japan UTme! collaborated with Mirijam, where customers could buy a limited edition custom Tshirt/bags/sweaters with Mirijams designs.
Follow her on social media for latest updates.
“May our waterways cross some day!”
