Every year, we look forward to exhibiting at The Inspired Home Show hosted by the International Housewares Association (IHA). This year was especially exciting because our very own Cabinet Caddy SNAP! was chosen as an IHA Global Innovations Award (gia) Finalist (which you may have read about in our previous blog).
This is the second time a product of ours has been chosen (shout out to our Go Hang It! Pro) as a 2020 gia Award Finalist – it’s an award honoring excellence in product design. Entries were judged by a panel of industry experts and news media. Winners were announced at a gala dinner honoring all of the nominees.
While we didn’t officially win in our category, we still feel like winners (and we had a nice chicken dinner – okay, it was steak, but winner, winner steak dinner doesn’t have the same ring to it… I digress).
My father and I have been inventing products for as long as I can remember. My dad lead the charge for years when I was younger and I had the pleasure of playing different roles in the inventions as I grew up. Now, my father and I co-lead the charge with our inventions.
To us, our products being named as finalists for an award in excellence in product design is the equivalent to an actor being nominated for an Oscar. It’s a big deal in our industry. And, it tells us we’re on the right track with our inventions.
Our mission at INSP!RED Product Development Group is to make stylist, yet functional, products that make your life easier. Whether we are an official gia Award Winner or a Finalist, we’ll continue to be on mission and bring you more awesome products that WOW you.
