Our Story

Hi, I'm Arjo – the hand behind the illustrations and the heart behind the brand.

Art by Arjo began with a simple idea: to capture the places, passions, and memories that matter most through beautifully detailed hand-drawn artwork. What started as personal gifts for family and friends soon sparked something much bigger. I realised how powerful it was to turn someone’s story into something they could hang on their wall – a sketch that means more than just lines on paper.

With a background in architecture and a lifelong love for drawing, I began creating architectural illustrations that blend precision with personal meaning – whether it’s the stadium you grew up going to with your dad, a memory from a favourite place you travelled too, or a university building that shaped your journey.

In 2018, I made the leap from architect to full-time artist and launched Art by Arjo. Since then, what started at market stalls and local pop-ups has grown into a premium online brand with customers in over 30 countries and partnerships with retailers across the UK.

Each piece I create is rooted in memory, designed to be a lasting reminder of the places that shape who we are. Every print is drawn with care, produced with the highest quality materials, and made to be gifted, treasured, and displayed with pride.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support that’s helped turn a passion into a thriving brand – and I’m excited for what’s still to come. There’s so much more I can’t wait to draw and share with you.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
