Equipment I use

I’ve been a sucker for tools for as long as I can remember. I love to peek at people’s processes, and what tools they use always make me curious. If you share your screen with me on a video call, I will for sure be staring at the icons in your dock and your menu bar, at the bookmarks in your browser and at the tabs you have open, and completely lose track of the conversation. Sorry about that!

This is an incomplete list and will be updated.
