Introduction
This is where I keep track of the stuff I use every day in my office and beyond. Right now, though, consider this page a work in progress—it’s still in beta, maybe alpha… honestly, it might just be a doodle on a napkin. Check back soon, once I stop breaking the site more than I’m fixing it.
Oh, and a quick heads-up: some of these links are affiliate links. If you pick something up through them, it helps support me as a creator (without costing you anything extra). Appreciate the support!
Workspace Setup
Desk and Chair Setup
I have a Sit-Stand Desk from Odinlake, measuring 60x30 inches, with a wood-like desktop. It’s equipped with powerful dual motors, allowing for smooth and superior performance when adjusting the desk height.
Complementing the desk is my Stormtrooper Star Wars chair from Secretlab.
Computer & Accessories
MacBook Pro
The 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max, and yeah, she's fully loaded. It's my go-to powerhouse for everything from slicing through video edits without breaking a sweat to keeping up with my chaotic multitasking. It's the heart of my setup, blending insane speed with killer visuals on that gorgeous screen.
Ascrono MacBook Pro Docking Station
A vertical dock that keeps things simple and clean. My CalDigit dock plugs right in, making it quick to connect or disconnect the MacBook Pro while turning it into a full desktop setup.
CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock
The best dock you can buy. It delivers 98W charging and handles everything from big laptops to smaller USB-C devices. One cable powers your machine and connects up to 18 devices without breaking a sweat.
Audio
A simple way to take control of your sound. It lets me adjust my mic, speakers, and system audio separately while adding a touch of RGB to the desk.
Edifier R1280DB Bookshelf Speakers
Classic design with modern features. These powered Bluetooth speakers look sharp in their wood finish and deliver clean, balanced sound that works in any space. A reliable choice for everyday listening with a touch of style.
EDC
Everyday Carry is all about the gear you keep on hand to stay ready for anything. In this page, I share everything I carry with me daily.
Bags
Everyday carry needs an actual carry, and for me, that means backpacks (and the occasional fanny pack). I try to keep it to three bags in rotation:
Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2 (Coyote, 30L)
Technically a camera bag, but I don’t use it for photography. Instead, it’s my go-to for travel—whether it’s a quick overnight or a more extended trip. It fits my 14” MacBook Pro, has a sleeve for the iPad Air, and still leaves room for everything else I throw in. Sleek, ergonomic, and basically a portable closet.
tomtoc Sling Crossbody Backpack
Perfect for short trips or my summer commute. Minimalist, but still roomy enough for my laptop or iPad Air. Plenty of pockets too, which means I don’t spend ten minutes digging for a charger at the bottom.
A recent Nike Outlet pickup. It fits an iPad Mini (which I mostly use at night before bed) and has just enough space for charging cables and headphones. Not as glamorous as the other two, but it does the job—and yes, I’m fully embracing the fanny pack life.
Mobile
I carry two phones every day: one iPhone and one Android. I have two carriers on my iPhone. T-Mobile is my primary carrier, but like any other, it has those random dead zones—unfortunately, one of them happens to be at my workplace. That’s where Visible comes in handy, since it rides on Verizon’s network and fills in the gaps. Two carriers, one phone, no “no service” headaches. Side note: I have a shortcut that runs automatically when I get to work. It automatically switches to Visible as the primary data network.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
My daily driver is the iPhone 16 Pro Max, 256 GB Desert Titanium (soon to be the iPhone 17 Pro Max). If you’re reading this after the 17 has launched, then I probably haven’t updated this page yet.
Samsung S25 Ultra
My secondary device is the Samsung S25 Ultra, 256GB, Sky Blue, which gives me the best of both worlds between iOS and Android.
Apple Watch Ultra
I still proudly rock the Apple Watch Ultra, and it hasn’t let me down yet. From tracking workouts to keeping me connected, it’s become an essential part of my daily routine. Tough, reliable, and surprisingly stylish—it’s the one gadget I’d feel naked without.
Audio
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
My daily drivers for on-the-go listening. They’ve got excellent noise cancellation, a snug fit, and are small enough to disappear in my pocket—until I need them on a flight, in a café, or when I don’t want to hear the world.
AirPods Max (1st Gen, Lightning port)
When I want to fully sink into music, I reach for the AirPods Max. The over-ear design and rich sound make them perfect for long commutes or just zoning out at home. They may be heavy, but the audio payoff is worth the neck workout.
Tablet
iPad Air
If I’m not carrying my MacBook Pro, then I have my Apple iPad Air 13” M2 (256 GB, cellular). It’s perfect for knocking out emails, catching up on YouTube, or reading the latest in tech news. I keep it in a Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard case, which basically turns it into a lightweight laptop when I need one. An Apple Pencil Pro is always clipped on—well, usually. I’ve already managed to misplace a couple, so if anyone has a foolproof way to keep it attached, I’m all ears.
