5 questions

› Workspace Hardware & Tools

A Tidbyt that cycles through random stuff like the NY Times headlines, the time, weather and my personal fave the "It's five o'clock somewhere" app.

› What is the most useful item in your workspace?

Hay Chim Chim Oil Burner for nice smells, currently loaded up with the Shinrin-Yoku scent from Earl of East

› How do you spark creativity?

A good playlist or mix, talking to our users, brainstorming with the team, and unfortunately, reading Twitter threads 😢

› How do you manage work-life balance?

At times it feels like I don't, but disconnecting the best I can at the weekends definitely helps, I've got a lotta work to do in this department thought.

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

Flexibility, particularly with the hours I work, I'm more of a night owl – I find it easier to get into a flow-state when everyone else is offline so having to be in an office at 9 every morning would definitely be a net-negative.
