MARTHA STEWART GARAGE ORGANIZATION COLLECTION

An organized garage is a surprisingly challenging space - there is a lot of diverse activities happening in a small space and it needs to be durable to weather any condition. My design for the Martha Stewart’s Garage collection at the Home Depot didn’t disappoint. Between clean line metal cabinetry and functional accessories, I created a unique system that not only addressed the basics of storing items in the garage but also looked at how this space is used by consumers. It features a modular system of components with the ability to custom their use to match a multitude of different uses all while being able to be easily manufactured.
