Studio Tools & Workday Essentials
Tools that support focused, organized creative work.
The Philosophy
My studio is built around reducing friction.
The tools here aren’t flashy or trend-driven — they’re the quiet pieces that make workdays feel smoother, more organized, and more intentional. I gravitate toward items that disappear into the background and let the work itself take center stage.
If something earns a place on my desk, it’s because it helps me stay focused, calm, and consistent.
The Edit | Desk & Workspace Foundations
The physical pieces that anchor my workday and keep my desk feeling clear rather than cluttered.
The Edit | Planning, Paper, & Workflow
Digital tools matter — but I still rely on a few analog pieces to think clearly and map ideas without distraction.
The Edit | Tech & Everyday Accessories
Small upgrades that quietly improve comfort, efficiency, or flow — especially during long client days.
The Edit | Lighting & Atmosphere
Things that affect how the space feels — which matters more than most people realize.

How I Choose What Makes The Cut
Everything in this edit falls into one of these categories:
→ In My Studio Now — currently using it
→ Reorder-Worthy — I’ve repurchased or would without hesitation
→ On Deck — researched + bookmarked for my next upgrade
I keep this page small on purpose. If it’s listed, it’s because it earned a spot — now or next.
