No Lemon Studio
it's not one art language - it's many

— turning ideas (and leftovers) into stories.

little inês
was always an artist

Born in Coimbra, Portugal, she's a true '90s baby. From painting and drawing to transforming old biscuit tins into treasure boxes, creativity was her constant companion. Back then, nothing felt impossible—not even the dream that hand-painted t-shirts at 10€ each could become a multimillion-euro empire. Spoiler: it didn't. But the spark? That never faded.

like father
like daughter

Her father used to be a newspaper photographer, and for as long as she can remember, he'd lend her one of his cameras. What started as a hobby slowly became something more—people began asking 'How much for a photoshoot?' That's when it hit her: she was a photographer too.

studied design
worked as a designer

A Bachelor's in Design from Portugal, an Erasmus at Politecnico di Milano, and roles spanning small advertising agencies, wine companies, freelance interior design projects, and big corporates like Puma. The résumé? Quite interesting. The feeling? Empty.

lemons
the only yellow thing she doesn't like

She always loved art—not just one kind, but all of it, especially creating with her own hands. The more she explored, the clearer it became: she wasn't meant to choose. So she didn't. She embraced being a generalist and launched herself as a freelance artist. Today she offers multiple creative services. It might seem like a lot, but that's exactly how she likes it.

instead of buying new
she prefers to reinvent

She's not big on buying new. Give her a broken chair, a forgotten tin, grandma's fabric scraps, and her brain starts spinning: What could this become?

It started as necessity—saving money, reducing waste—but became a creative challenge she can't resist. For her, the best designs don't come from a store—they come from seeing magic where others see trash.
