Interview

3 questions

› What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

I recently added Logitech Lift to my workspace. Actually, I didn't want to buy Lift because I would have difficulty using it due to its shape. I bought MX Master 3S instead. Logitech sent me Lift to try without using MX Master 3S for a month. The first moment I tried Lift; I couldn't believe its comfort. It's my favorite piece in my work area right now. Now I'm thinking of changing my desk chair.

› What do you listen to while working? Any specific music or podcasts?

My playlists can get very complicated while I'm working. Sometimes I listen to an album from start to finish, and sometimes I listen to the playlist of YouTube channels such as Flavor Trip and My Analog Journal. I still haven't gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts!

› What considerations went into your recent workspace renovation?

Since my husband and I worked freelance from home, our work areas were in the same area. It's a great chance to be side by side. But when our desk chairs started to bang against each other, preventing us from focusing, I settled back on the other wall of the living room. By placing the bookshelf next to my desk, I created a large work area. I also created a "home office" atmosphere. I'm very happy with its current state.
