What is the most useful item in your workspace?
My laptop. That's obvious. Maybe the 2nd most useful are my airpods. They help a lot with focusing and communicating well on video calls. I have a minimal setup.
How do you spark creativity?
What really helps me when i hit a creative block is taking a break, doing a workout and maybe scrolling Pinterest. This helps me recharge, and get inspired.
What does your typical day look like?
I usually wake up, have a quick bite and a big glass of water and i start working. I do a work session in the morning and one in the afternoon. I try to fit a workout 3 times a week in the middle of the day.
