About Us

Welcome to Steph’s Happy Nook, a cozy corner where love of stories and books come together! We believe every design tells a story. What started as a love for books and creativity has grown into a passion for creating unique, story-inspired t-shirts that bring joy, nostalgia, and inspiration to fellow book lovers and dreamers.

We are Steph and Tugrul, a wife-and-husband team blending our diverse backgrounds to create something special. Steph, originally from Puerto Rico, a lifelong book enthusiast and librarian, has always believed in the power of stories to connect people. Her husband, originally from Turkiye, was a medical doctor before moving to the U.S. to pursue a new chapter as an entrepreneur. 

We’re not just book enthusiasts—we love watching, reading, listening, and talking about stories. Whether it’s a beloved novel, an unforgettable movie, or a compelling audiobook, stories inspire us in everything we do. Together, we channel our love of storytelling into designing shirts that reflect their magic in all forms. 

Each design is thoughtfully crafted to bring a little extra happiness to your wardrobe—whether you’re a bookworm, a dreamer, or someone who simply loves a good story. From our hands to yours, we hope our designs spark joy, start conversations, and remind you of the stories that shape us all.

✨ Our Commitment ✨

We take pride in creating original designs that are not trademarked and do our very best to be ethical in everything we do. Our goal is to celebrate stories and creativity while respecting the work of others.

Thank you for supporting our small business and being part of our journey!

📚✨ Wear the story. Share the magic.
