About

Christine’s Closet was built from personal experience and a need for better storage.

Christine, one of the co-founders, was living in a one-bedroom unit in a high-rise community and found herself needing more closet space. When she rented a nearby self-storage unit, she found the process daunting and was surprised to discover there was no way to store hanging clothes. To solve this challenge, she created her own walk-in closet by moving rolling racks into the space and organizing an off-site closet for regular use.

By visiting the storage space every couple of weeks to switch out wardrobe items and other household belongings, Christine realized she was making better use of everything she owned. She also believed there had to be a more convenient solution for self-storage customers. From this insight, the idea of a concierge-style storage service was born. Customers wouldn’t have to travel to their storage units or remember everything stored inside—they could have items delivered right to their door.

In 2018, while pursuing an MBA at Rice University, Christine further developed the idea for Christine’s Closet as part of a team project in an entrepreneurial studies course. Along with her classmates, Sana and Stephanie, the team earned an “A” on the project and began exploring the concept as a startup. Thus, Christine’s Closet Storage was born.
