My story

ABOUT menina lisboa

Menina Lisboa is an independent illustration studio founded by Claudia in 2013, inspired by playful color palettes, coastal living, childhood memories and thoughtfully curated interiors.

What began as a small creative project slowly evolved into an internationally sold illustration brand, with artwork licensed and featured through shops, platforms and home decor collections around the world.

WHAT i DO

Menina Lisboa creates whimsical illustration prints designed for nurseries, family homes and colorful everyday spaces.

Alongside the print collections, the studio also develops surface pattern designs and licensing-ready artwork for brands, products, and creative collaborations, always with a focus on playful compositions, warm palettes, and timeless storytelling.


MEET claudia

Hi, I’m Claudia, illustrator, photographer, and founder of Menina Lisboa.

My work is inspired by the things I naturally gravitate towards in everyday life: soft colors, playful interiors, coastal living, children’s spaces, Mediterranean light, and small visual details that make a home feel personal.

Over the years, my illustrations have grown into a colorful collection of prints and patterns created for both little spaces and grown-up homes, while collaborating with international platforms and brands through licensing and surface design.

Today, Menina Lisboa continues to evolve as a creative studio focused on playful illustration, thoughtful design, and art that brings warmth and personality into everyday spaces.
