Our Story

Twigseeds is the nest of illustrator and author, Kate Knapp. First hatched in Australia in the mid 90s, Twigseeds is famous for its colourful characters and heartfelt messages.

We believe that life is all about meaningful connection, finding your flock and making sense of the marvellous universe we call home. Sometimes we just want to spread a little light into someone's world. To spark a smile or a laugh. To send a big warm hug, or to say that we appreciate all you do. That we hope you are as happy as a seagull with a french fry. Or to simply say... we love you.

Twigseeds creates quiet space for meaningful connection in a noisy world.
