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

Recently got my monitor, game changer for a room that gets way too bright.

How do you spark creativity?

In my experience, I’ve found myself to be my most creative when I’m consistently at it. Just showing up and putting in the time does way more for me than anything else.
