Like many households, we regularly receive parcels. For a long time, I didn’t think much about them being left at the front door — until one weekend changed everything.

After returning home from a family picnic, we left our portable BBQ briefly at our front door while wrangling our toddler. When we came back, it was gone. Annoying — but what followed was far worse. Days later, I woke in the middle of the night to find a burglar inside our home. It was terrifying, and it completely shattered my sense of safety.

That experience became a turning point.

I started thinking seriously about how visible parcels can make homes vulnerable, and I went looking for a secure parcel drop box. What I found was disappointing — designs that were clunky, unattractive, or clearly not suited to New Zealand homes.

So I decided to create something better.

Aspect Box started with woodworking classes, cardboard cut-outs, and scale models at the kitchen table. After countless iterations and learning curves, I partnered with a manufacturer who could bring my vision to life — without compromising on quality, durability, or design.
