My Mind

What is your favorite item in your workspace?

Besides my dog, I’d have to go with my Baron Fig Mastermind Desk Pad, with their Nomad Sticky Notes as a close second. I enjoy sketching out my thoughts and ideas and taking handwritten notes as things come to mind throughout the day. Simply put, Baron Fig produces fantastic products for creatives and writers, and I highly recommend everything that I’ve purchased from them so far (as more may come soon).

How do you spark creativity?

My creativity is sparked by those of others. I spend quite a lot of time researching well-designed new products, typically by happy-scrolling through Product Hunt or through word-of-mouth. Currently, I have roughly 30+ tabs opened of products I’ve found inspiring. Diving deep into the digital products others have crafted, in turn, helps me to think about how I can best design for my projects and users.

Thanks for tuning in for another edition of Workspaces!

If you enjoyed this edition, please consider forwarding it to someone that you think would love it just as much!
