About

Artevo is a modern mobile app I designed to help artists showcase, sell, and share their artwork globally through a clean, intuitive, and artist-centered experience.

Problem

Discovering and buying original art should be inspiring — but too often, it’s complicated, time-consuming, and inaccessible. Most platforms feel clunky or impersonal, leaving buyers scrolling endlessly through mass-produced prints instead of finding genuine, one-of-a-kind pieces. For those who want to collect real art, there’s no simple, trustworthy way to do it right from their phone.

Solution

Artevo makes owning art as effortless as admiring it. Designed for a seamless mobile experience, it lets anyone explore, connect with, and purchase original artwork from talented creators around the world — all in just a few taps. Clean design, secure payments, and thoughtful curation turn the act of buying art into an experience that feels personal, beautiful, and human.
