The Ideas

Trash Bin: Leftover breakfasts, snacks, drinks, and other garbage accumulate in a flimsy, often overflowing bag on a door handle or in the backseat. Lakey needs a large, sturdy, conveniently located receptacle that even the dogs can't destroy.

Chargers: Lakey’s car operates as an office on wheels, but it doesn’t provide a way to recharge electronic essentials, such as a laptop, a PDA, and a Bluetooth headset. A universal charger kit, kept next to the driver’s seat, would do the trick.

Movable Storage: Lakey keeps everything from sports gear to work materials in the car. Easily maneuverable bins will corral similar items in one place — whether they’re in the car or stored in the garage.

Portable File: Since Lakey does paperwork from the driver’s seat, she needs her filing system to be on the front passenger seat.

Seating Assignments: Lakey fights a constant battle with clutter. With everything assigned to its particular space, she’ll know if anything is out of place and needs to go into the house or be dealt with right away.
