Creating for Community.

Serving our community.

Arch believes in the power of creativity to drive positive change. Over the years we’ve developed long-term partnerships and collaborations with a number of charities, CIC’s and not-for-profits including BID Leicester, Soft Touch Arts, BrightSparks Arts in Mental Health, HQ CAN, Leicester Museums & Galleries and Social Gallery. 

We’ve self-initiated a number of community-driven projects including our Street Stories digital art trail, our BrewBeat music festival, and a range of multi-award winning subculture exhibitions. View our showreel to find out more.

Our sustainability report outlines our impact on the planet and society.

Our culture.

Good work needs good people - and we have a great team in place.

We also have as fancy studio in a converted shoe factory in Leicester's Cultural Quarter. But true culture isn’t about pool tables and dart boards, it's about how we work together and support each other.

At Arch, we carry our quarterly Team Connect Days where we share ideas and discuss emerging technology. We also work closely with both of our local universities, carrying out portfolio reviews and offering graduates internship opportunities.

We take a collaborative, straight talking and responsive approach to design, without any nonsense, or ego. We love to work with clients who share these values - so get in touch if this sounds like you.
