Content Creator with a focus on YouTube

Matt Fitzgerald’s workspace

Matt Fitzgerald owns a website and YouTube channel called 52 Weeks that helps creative dads be present with their families.

After having a kid, this creator had to transform a dark storage room into a functional office. Below shares a snapshot into the before followed by the transformation that followed.

And now let's look back at where this workspace transformation started...

What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

The final step to this project was swapping the old door for a wooden one that features a large window. More natural light is always a game changer.

What is one change you'd like to make to your current workspace?

When I started the project I thought I could cover the concrete walls with art and furniture. Nope. They still look a little scary. If I do a second iteration of this room I will likely need to fur out one of the walls and polish the floors.

What does your typical day look like?

A couple days a week I am in the heart of Salt Lake City, UT helping reorganize the content systems of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This means lots of analytics, lots of meetings, and lots of teaching people what’s cringey and what isn’t. Evenings are spent trying to balance being a dad and progressing on creative projects.
