Field: Illustration & Surface Design

Achi Acho Design is a lifestyle brand aiming to bring a sprinkle of colour and whimsy to your home and everyday. We stock unique gifts, Hong Kong souvenirs, home textiles, stationery and fashion - all featuring original artwork by RJ Chuah.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, RJ is the artist behind Achi Acho Design. Often taking inspiration from her childhood and her love for animals, food packaging and travelling, her illustrations have a whimsical, playful quality. Filled with intricate details and textures, they invite the audience to take a closer look. Her feline friends 阿芝 (Achi) and Ollie (Acho) often feature in her designs.

All artworks are hand-drawn with love in Hong Kong and products are sustainably printed on demand in the US and Australia. Garments and fashion accessories are a collaboration with local maker Gagamimi!
