OFFICE BY MARTHA STEWART COLLECTION

As a leading design voice with Martha Stewart, I was able to tap into my deep love of office supplies with one of my favorite places to shop, Staples. This line of products features organizational elements that every person needs from desktop accessories that are actually sized to the products to be stored and functional details to ensure the best use of each. This even included new furniture for consumers that needed a refresh from the heavy feeling furniture previously sold thru this retail channel. And to top it all off, it was incredibly well-received by Martha herself - truly the toughest critic around.
