Upcycled product design
Desk Organizer
A modular storage system made from old DVD cases, giving discarded products a useful second life as desk organization.
Instead of beginning with new material, the design uses the cases' existing shape and structure to create open cubbies and pull-through storage for craft supplies. The result keeps tools visible and reachable while diverting obsolete products from the waste stream.

Process images needed. The finished organizer is documented, but sketches and construction photographs would make the design decisions easier to follow.

Placeholder — her reflection goes here.
