|
| Q: I’ve never looked at a shelf and thought "how can I make this fun?" What was your inspiration and is that mindset something you always have? |
|
 |
| Adil |
|
| A: The original inspiration was to make a storage solution for my kid’s endless collection of “stuff”. I wanted to create something visually interesting but at the same time flexible and modular. Something that can grow and change with you. I wanted to make something that has traditionally been very fixed and rigid into something more fluid with more flexibility and a sense of movement. |

|
| Q: Was developing a business around it an ‘aha’ moment or more of a gradual process? |
|
|
| Adil |
|
| A: I just made it for fun as a way of re-cycling salvaged material and creating storage, but all the positive feedback I got finally gave me the aha moment that it could become a real product. The process of making DIYShelf into a business was a more gradual process taking over 3 years, of development, research, prototyping, and refining, to get to where it is today. |
