Blake Mascali converted his garage and transformed it into a fully functional creative workspace — equipped with an industrial standing desk, dual 40-inch monitors, and a telescope for when inspiration needs a wider lens.
The anchor of Blake's setup: a custom-built industrial standing desk made from a WWII-era French coffee table, paired with dual 40-inch Vizio TVs and a FIFINE USB mic.
Triple-monitor productivity at its best — a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 flanked by two 40-inch Vizio LEDs, all anchored on a one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood standing desk.
Every tool within reach — MacBook Pro, dual Vizios, FIFINE mic, iPad, and a bamboo organizer. Blake's workspace is built for deep focus and zero friction.
A sticky note on the monitor says it all: "Enjoy What You Do." Blake's garage office is where product strategy meets personal craft — built from the ground up, literally.
Blake’s home office is a fully-finished garage remodel with a custom garage door that holds 16 windows opening the office to the outdoors.

What is the most useful item in your workspace?
Oversized, triple monitor setup. I am able to work very efficiently with all of my tools open at the same time.
How do you spark creativity?
I choose the right time of day (early morning) with hot coffee and my spotify playlist playing at low volume.
Sometimes it helps to take a break and play a game of pool, take a walk, or listen to a podcast - then get back to work.
How do you manage work-life balance?
I start early while the family sleeps, then spend time with my kids as they get ready for school. Then I keep a hard stop at 5pm.
What do you think is the main benefit of remote work?
There are many: enhanced productivity levels, improved personal satisfaction, less oversight/more autonomy. But for me, it's unplanned lunches with my wife on the back deck, being there to welcome my kids home from school, and a commute that consists of a simple walk downstairs from my bedroom.
