What is the most useful item in your workspace?
Hands down, my laptop. I can get everything done just with it. Didn’t have a chair or desk for months. I got used to work on the couch with the laptop.
How do you spark creativity?
I get distracted easily, so I found I do my best work late at night. When everything is quiet, and you get zero notifications.
What does your typical day look like?
Shoutout to all the readers with a family. We have worked very hard to organize our schedules around our 2 year old daughter. We all walk together to preschool, and spend the afternoons and weekends together. This is non-negotiable for now and I hope it can stay like that for a long time because it makes me as happy as I can be.
