Hello! Since quite a few people reached out asking why the Makita solution is superior to the competition, I thought I was try and communicate some of the benefits through pictures. These were early design renderings but they help show the benefits. I will develop a formal presentation when I have time. I want to be able to connect the dots from user needs, market shortcomings and the Makita brand position. It's a great story of designers learning first hand and being able to translate insights into a actionable benefits all wrapped up in a holistic and infinitely expandable system.

Lifestyledeisgn for Makita. We sent our team into the field to work alongside the trades, digging into the shortcomings of existing products: tools inaccessible in trucks, stacking issues, limited capacity for larger tools, one-direction box openings—the list goes on. We studied work behaviors, major needs, and frustrations, from transporting gear over long distances to dealing with job site clutter. We defined the problems, prioritized them, and created a massive set of design innovations—prototyped, tested, and refined into an infinitely expandable system that’s purposeful, intuitive, and built tough. We worked closely with U.S. manufacturers, overcoming challenges in complex tooling and production, to bring relevant newness to a mature market. This isn’t just another toolbox. It's a different approach, one that leads, not follows—a case study in delivering market impact and success for our customers

Understanding how people work and being able to identify their challenges is a great way to identify valuable insights and translate them to meaningful product innovations.
