In January 2021, after the passing of Maria's father, her family faced the daunting task of sorting through his belongings, managing accounts, and handling probate. The challenges they encountered—such as locating keys, titles, and critical documents—highlighted the need for a streamlined organizational system. Recognizing that this was a common issue for many, Maria developed The Nokbox to address these challenges.

The Nokbox is a comprehensive organizational tool that provides users with a structured way to manage their important documents and assets. It includes 66 double-sided worksheets and a set of instructions, organized into 15 categories and 66 folders. This system covers everything from bank and investment accounts to insurance policies, and also addresses practical details such as access to storage sheds, pet information, and the location of childhood photos or spare keys. It ensures that users can keep track of essential documents, including passports and certificates, and provides an effective way to organize keys and other small items.

Since its launch, Nokbox has seen remarkable success. With over $20 million in sales within just 3.5 years, the company has grown rapidly, with its headquarters still located at the founder’s home. Nokbox has enlisted local support to meet the high demand and continues to refine and expand its offerings.
