The Story of Little Lark

Little Lark's Founder

Little Lark was founded in 2006 by Christy Nyboer, a trained artist living in Portland, Oregon. Frustrated while searching for modern designed clothes for her first child that weren't commonly embellished with gender specific colors, motifs, or garish branding, Christy found herself designing her own baby's shirts. After receiving positive feedback from friends, family and even strangers off the street, Christy quickly gained the confidence to apply her artistic talents into creating Little Lark.

Today Little Lark sells unique, organic apparel for young children that isn't limited by traditional stereotypes and motifs, and offers a beautiful selection of letterpress cards appropriate for any occasion. Little Lark designs are modern, hip, fun, and exhibit simplicity and style with a sophisticated edge.

Interview with Little Lark

What inspires you

Little Lark is inspired by beauty and wonder through the eyes of a child. Many of my ideas have blossomed from old children's educational books, science textbooks, and my fond memories of living in Alaska as a child. Little Lark is inspired by what is beautiful, terrific, and optimistic about our world.

Favorite part about creating your products

The most wonderful part of doing Little Lark is the creative outlet it gives me and the best reward is having another person embrace it.

Toughest part of your day

The worst time of the day for me would be early in the morning, mostly due to staying up late to work. I have found that one of the most difficult parts of owning a business AND being a mother is getting work done and making time for my family.

Best day in company history

That is a really hard question to answer. I feel as though I have had tons of amazing moments, but too hard to choose one thing. Everyday I'm in business is a grand day and I'm so happy to be producing products that customers love and want to buy again and again.

Biggest decision you ever had to make

Back in 2007, my original partner backed out due to another business interest. It was difficult to know what to do with the business that time, but my passion for Little Lark was too strong to let it fall apart. It was then I decided to put my heart and soul into making Little Lark the best it could be. (and still working on it!)

Where do you see yourselves in 5 years

I would love for Little Lark to be internationally recognized for selling beautifully designed products for the modern, eco-savvy family.
