Stash World began in 2017 at a tiny computer desk with an old printer and secondhand cutting machine. What started with homemade stickers printed late at night has grown into a vibrant planet of stationery, collage, analogue inspiration, and community - right here in the heart of Brisbane /meanjin.

Today, Stash World is an online store, a community of sticker lovers, and a welcoming space for anyone who finds joy in paper, pens, washi tape, nostalgic ephemera, and the magic of making things by hand. You can find us in sunny Fortitude Valley, Queensland.

Meet Jessie

Hello! I’m Jessie Short, founder, designer, and long-time stationery aficionado. Next to me is the magical person who keeps the show running and the stickers pouring - Kaleb Piggott (of RODEO Embroidery).

I grew up surrounded by fine art, pen-stained hands, and the emotional roller coaster of small business - with a family that has been creating, collecting, and selling handmade objects for generations.

Before Stash World, I worked in the marketing and tech industry, while building up a local creative community of fellow sticker lovers on the weekend. Stickers were the gateway - one tiny spark that turned into an entire sticker LOVING universe!

Stash World exists and has grown because of community. Our Stash community is the magic sauce that keeps Stash World's heart pumping and its stickers sticky. From the local illustators who we get to work with to our local crafters who we get to snip and stick with. We LOVE helping people rediscover analogue creativity through journalling, scrapbooking and letter writing.

Behind the scenes, I’m also a collector, a stationery designer, and someone who thoroughly enjoys rescuing paper goodness from my local op shop or dumpster.

A sticker covered business woman by day and stationery treasure hunter by night (aka the hours in which I spend scowling the deep depths of the internet for stationery treasures).

Thank-you for visitng our little silly corner of the internet. Now go grab an old notebook and glue stick and GET STICKING!
