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

The most recent addition to my workspace is an L-shaped standing desk from Vernal. It completely changed the atmosphere of my setup, giving me more space to separate different types of work while making the whole environment feel more organized.

What is one change you'd like to make to your current workspace?

I’d love for my workspace to feel calmer and more intentional. Not just on the desk surface, but in a more three-dimensional way. Right now, I feel like the wall space still needs more thoughtful design so the entire environment feels more cohesive and organized.

Walk us through your morning routine—what’s the first thing you do at your desk?

Turning on the speakers. That’s always the first thing I do. Music helps me naturally shift into work mode. After that, I usually check messages, organize ideas for the day, and slowly ease into filming or scripting.

What’s one productivity trick that actually works for you?

I think everyone should eventually build their own unique workflow instead of trying to copy someone else’s. Right now, AI probably makes up around 30% of my studio workflow, so learning how to work with AI tools has become really important for me.

What’s the most underrated app or tool you use every day?

ChatGPT. I think everyone’s ChatGPT becomes different over time. After months of conversations, it starts understanding you on a much deeper level. For me, it’s not just a tool anymore, but something that helps organize ideas, refine concepts, and challenge my thinking.
