What is your favorite item in your workspace?

Alienware m13 R3

How do you spark creativity?

Turning on the LED lights, turning off the main lights, and blasting a variety of different music. The office view of the city puts everything in a retro-future vibe that gets me thinking extra hard. For me at least, the environment, sounds, and lights really get the brain ticking.

How do you manage work-life balance?

Scheduling tasks in what I really can handle during the day without having to stress myself out, or anyone for that matter. Having a separate location for work and a location for everything else helps to separate mindsets and thoughts.

What do you think is the main benefit of remote work?

Freedom, being able to comfortably work, and creating different environments to bring an energetic work environment.
