MARTHA STEWART KITCHEN COLLECTIONS
Developing custom kitchens for the Martha Stewart partnership with the Home Depot was key to the growth of this brand. I was a lead voice in this space developing with our manufacturing partners at Masterbrands and I was able to see how you can really shake up a category first hand. Prior to this launch, most kitchen cabinetry was developed to a set idea of wood finishes and accessory choices. I was able to change that paradigm by introducing new colors, brand-relevant door/drawer styles as well as new features that include unique inserts for Pet Lovers, Coffee/Team Aficionados and more. Below are just a few of the choices available and this approach quickly solidified Martha’s credentials as a brand that not only knows how to create tasty recipes but also the perfect kitchen to create them in.
