The creative journal of Indi Arden

Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I share the stories behind my illustrations, the ups and downs of running a small business, and the colourful chaos of building a life around creativity. Based in the heart of Brighton, England, I’m on a mission to inspire quiet moments of artistic play and thoughtful exploration.

From sketchbook musings and product launches to candid reflections on balancing a full-time café job with growing my dream, Arden Anthology is a collection of my thoughts, designs, and everything in between. Grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and join me as I navigate this creative adventure.
