Workspace Setup & Hardware

  • Fully Jarvis Standing Desk frame with a maple tabletop

  • Ikea Markus chair (amazing chair for a reasonable price)

  • 2019 15" base model Macbook Pro

  • Twelve South BookArc

  • 27" Ultrafine 5K monitor (this thing is great)

  • Apple Watch (I try not to keep my phone in my office the majority of the time)

  • Magsafe charger

  • Airpods Pro

  • 3 Incredible books by Austin Kleon: Steal like an artist, Keep going, and Show your work. (These books have fundamnetally changed the way I see my work and my potential.)

  • A typical fake ikea plant (I can't be trusted to take care of a real one.)

  • 2018 11" iPad Pro with a magic keyboard and Apple pencil (I mostly use this for media consumption, writing, and reviewing my design work with the Apple pencil

  • Space gray magic trackpad, mouse, and keyboard.

  • Black desk mat from ULX store.

  • A notebook for taking random notes, and breaking down my day by the hour (a powerful habbit I learned from Cal Newport's book, Deep Work.)

Software Tools for Daily Design Work

  • Linear (for task managment at work)

  • Notion (for personal task managment, and personal/work notes)

  • Mymind (my favourite new product from last year, I use it to gather inspiration, and roughly plan out personal project ideas.)

  • Figma and Framer (I learned how to design in Sketch but mostly use Figma for work and Framer for personal projects now)

  • Around (for better co-working sessions)

  • Timer app (I use this to set timed work/procrastination sessions)

  • Spark (a great email client, although I don't send many emails)

  • Spotify (I enjoy listening to music while I work)
