How five designers actually use Figma
Ivor Jian is a self-taught multidisciplinary designer who has a passion for crafting immersive websites for creative individuals and brands.
He likes to say that his design language has been heavily inspired by Swiss design, utilitarian, and modernism.
Prior to going on his own as a freelance designer, he was at R/GA, an independent creative innovation company for the intelligence age.
The highlight of my setup has to be my custom keyboard. It's the Kokaku by Singa.kbd, with Cherry MX Blacks, and GMK Modern Ink keycaps. It makes coding and typing such an enjoyable experience.

What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?
The large poster on the right.
What is one change you'd like to make to your current workspace?
I would love to exchange my current monitor, as there are lines of dead pixels that stretch across it.
How do you spark creativity?
By working during the day, and constantly surrounding myself with great designs and websites.
What does your typical day look like?
I wake up at 9 am and make myself an oat latte and start my workday. I usually take breaks at 3 pm and 5 pm and then do light work in the late evenings.
What do you enjoy most about WFH life?
I enjoy the ability to do what I love while being at home and choosing my own work hours. I am very grateful to have the privilege to WFH.
