What furniture and hardware is in your workspace?
“I’ve tried almost every type of seat over the years, and I find a yoga ball the most comfortable. If nothing else, it forces me to keep moving. I like having a pretty boring and dark work environment to help keep focused, and ensure colour accuracy throughout the day.”
What podcasting and music production gear are in your setup?
“The AMT8 was purchased new about 20 years ago. Good audio gear lasts forever. If you have a Sennheiser SMB7, the FetHead is a great companion — it helps increase volume and reduce noise.”
What software do you use on a daily basis?
“I do my best to work across as many design tools as possible. They all have something to offer, and I feel it’s important for me to know them all well. Tower’s my favourite Git client. Soulver is absolutely amazing as a calculator scratch pad. I am doing my best at learning Blender, but mostly failing right now, so I keep falling back to Cheetah 3D. Screenflick is the best screen recorder I’ve found. Dash gives you quick and offline access to reference documentation.”
