Our Story

Hi, I'm Niamh, the illustrator behind From Lyla & friends.

I've loved drawing for as long as I can remember, and over time that love grew into a collection of greeting cards inspired by the small moments that bring people closer together.

At the heart of the collection is Lyla, a tuxedo cat whose gentle world reminds us to slow down, reach out, and celebrate the people who matter. As Lyla's circle of friends grows, new characters will join her, each bringing their own personality and perspective to the stories we tell.

Every card begins as an original illustration and is thoughtfully created to help celebrate life's meaningful moments—big and small. They're intentionally simple and blank inside, leaving space for your own words.

The moments we want to remember.

The words that are sometimes hard to say.

The people who matter.
