About Grumpy Nook
Since launching in 2018, Grumpy Nook has been crafted by Maisah, a South Asian British artist, to deliver cozy paper goods, stickers, and scrapbooking essentials meant to spark creativity and bring joy.

Why the Name?
"Grumpy Nook" reflects a blend of retro charm and personal origin — “Grumpy” nods to the sassy yet heartfelt characters Maisah adored growing up, while “Nook” recalls the snug corner of her childhood bedroom where the brand began — surrounded by sketchbooks, art supplies, and a growing love for paper.

A Personal Inspiration
Maisah’s stationery passion began with her father’s affection for fountain pens and family visits to stationery shops. That early spark for pens evolved into a deep appreciation for paper’s textures, colors, and creative possibilities — a source of inspiration still at the heart of her designs today.

Thoughtful Design, Delightful Use
Every product is illustrated by Maisah herself and crafted with attention to quality and user enjoyment. Her signature style weaves gentle curiosity, thoughtful layouts, and nostalgic warmth into every piece — inviting you to savor the little moments of creativity.
