About Why Begin

Born in 2024 from founder Kelsey Jones’s love for stickers, pins, and all things nostalgic, Why Begin is a vibrant celebration of fun-meets-functional stationery. From colorful notepads to iron-on patches, each piece is designed to help you “collage your life” with joy and whimsy. Rooted in the Kansas City Metro, our eclectic collection is curated by lifelong planner and office-product nerds who believe every day should feel a little brighter. We’re proud to do good too: 5% of our net profits support organizations advocating for women, children, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities.Read their story
