About Us
Krafty Kat
Handmade with heart. Inspired by resilience.
Hi, I’m the maker and mum behind Krafty Kat, a handmade business built from life’s challenges — and fueled by creativity, love, and the desire to help others like me.
Almost ten years ago, I was in a serious car accident while pregnant with my fifth child. That experience, along with multiple surgeries and a stroke that left me partially paralysed, changed my life forever. My working life came to an unexpected halt, but I refused to let it define me.
On top of my recovery, I was navigating a new challenge — raising children with neurodivergence and life-threatening allergies. I couldn’t find safe, affordable, fun products here in Australia that worked for our needs. So I started making them myself.
Why I Started Krafty Kat
💛 I needed a creative outlet and a flexible way to work around my health and family
🌈 I wanted to create truly allergen-free, fun products for kids like mine
🧠 My neurodivergent children inspired me to design play kits and tools that actually engage
🎨 Crafting became therapy — and purpose — during my healing
“I knew I couldn’t go back to work — but I also knew I couldn’t give up.”

Why "Krafty Kat"?
One night, I woke up with a funny thought:
“Do you have your KK present yet?”
I replied to myself: “Let Krafty Kat help you!”
My kids thought it was clever — and that’s when the name clicked. Now Krafty Kat brings joy, play, and handcrafted beauty into homes across Australia.
