An Interview with Shower Station’s Josh Wright

Our products are so fresh and so clean, clean! Sku select emails just went out for Shower Station. People with presale commitments have 2 full weeks (until Nov 9) to complete their orders and lock down their influence.

We caught up with Josh Wright, ideator of Shower Station, to interview him as we begin shipping.

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Really? With all the bios and interviews I’ve done? This is the first question? Haha joking. I’m Josh Wright, I’m 31 years old and I’m obsessively drawn to anything tech related. I program, I do 3D renders, I’m *nix certified and only nerds like me even know what that means! I’m married to my middle school sweetheart and have a baby girl named Kaitlyn.

2. When did you join Quirky?

I’m pretty sure it was March 2010.

3. How did you find out about us?

Soooo.. not sure, probably a link about Cloak.

4. When and how did you think up the idea for this product?

My wife and I have struggled with shower organization for a long time. We have ledges shelves, shower caddies, but none of the solutions out there adjusted enough to fit our need. One day our Simple Human rack failed in an epic shower of bottles, then it hit us. Hey let’s submit a modular shower organizer to that crazy invention website!

5. Had you tried to make this thing on your own already?

No, but I probably have owned every product made so far, designed to tackle this problem.

6. What do you think of the final product?

The final product is elegantly simple and yet highly functional. The adjustable baskets are exactly what every other caddy is missing!!

7. In your opinion, what is the most innovative product ever invented?

Without hesitation, the iPhone. Take a look at every phone or even concept phone pre-2007. Now look since then. Apple changed the game.

8. What inspires you?

My family. I’m madly in love with my wife. As I said earlier, we met in middle school. And after 7 years of trying and fertility treatments we now have the most amazing little girl I’ve ever seen! Being a daddy has been truly inspiring.

9. What are some of your quirks?

What or who? Big ups to Justin G, DQ, Andrea and that new Jersey Shore fist pumping guy!! Nah.. My quirks? When I get into something, I hyper focus. I blink while on a project and have missed an entire day. Forgot to eat lunch, haven’t used the restroom, etc. I’m super passionate about things I guess.

10. What’s your favorite cereal? Deli meat?

I love cereals with the word pebbles in the name. If they made a peanut butter pebbles, I’d probably eat nothing else btw.

11. Any parting words?

I just want to thank everyone at QHQ. I’ve met most of you in person and I think sometimes across the Internet tubes we lose touch with the people that make all this possible. It’s way easy to complain and yell at 1s and 0s, but the other side of those tubes exists one of the most dedicated sincere groups of people I’ve ever seen. Love you guys, and not just because I’m about to be Oprah rich! I mean it.
