My name is Pat Richmond. I founded Twinheart because my customers and I share a twin heart for miniatures — the same passion, the same delight in tiny details.

I’ve been collecting miniatures since childhood. My first piece was a miniature that belonged to my grandmother, given to me by my mother. That small treasure stayed with me and, over the years, grew into a lifelong devotion. Eventually I decided that loving miniatures wasn’t enough: I wanted to make them.

I began by crafting flowers, then added food, always striving to recreate real objects as realistic as possible. My lifelong love of cooking naturally influenced my work and led me to my current focus: miniature food that can be cut. I design pieces that look—and behave—like real food so they can be handled, sliced, and arranged. My aim is to inspire customers to create their own miniature masterpieces.

To spark imagination, I use miniature vegetables and ingredients to compose familiar dishes: takeout-style dinners, hearty stews, and other plated meals. Each piece is made to encourage hands-on play and to help collectors, hobbyists, and artists bring tiny culinary scenes to life.
