Shiftbuds owner

Welcome to shiftbuds!

Hi, I'm Kate — the creator behind a growing collection of fun, functional accessories designed especially for healthcare workers, first responders, and anyone who loves adding personality to their everyday essentials.

What started with handmade epaulettes has grown into a colourful range of products including Stethocharms, tape holders, and other playful accessories designed to brighten busy shifts and spark conversation.

As someone who works in a fast-paced emergency department, I know firsthand how important it is to bring a little joy and individuality into the workplace.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, each piece is designed with care for the amazing people who spend their days helping others.

Thanks for being here and supporting a small business that celebrates the fun side of healthcare life.

— Kate
