Michelle Dear’s workspace

Michelle Dear is the founder of Tandem, an expense sharing app for couples. Tandem eliminates the back-and-forth of Venmo, without the need to get a joint account.

Michelle also leads all content creation efforts for short-form money tips (hence the giant ring light) under the @use_tandem and @missmoneymichelle accounts. You’ll notice there are two setups here as Michelle shares this office with her husband whenever he doesn’t go into his office. They basically copy & pasted the same setup (lol).
