Good morning. Welcome to another edition of Workspaces.
I wasn't sure what I was going to lead this newsletter with until I was scrolling Twitter early this morning. Previous Workspaces guest James McKinven recently had a quick scare when his kitten decided to use his workspace as a jungle gym.
Take a look 🙀

Logan Liffick is a Senior Designer at DigitalOcean based in Tampa, FL.
He also has his hands in multiple side projects like splt.js, he co-built the 2022 Hacktoberfest site, and he recently re-designed CSS-Tricks (dropping in early 2023).
Inside Logan's Workspace
Items:
  • Fully Jarvis desk frame topped with birch butcher's block
  • 16” MacBook Pro resting on a Rain Design mStand
  • Studio Display
  • Magic keyboard + trackpad
  • Fully Luna stool (not pictured)
  • iPad Pro
  • AirPods
  • Various Moleskine notebooks
  • Aer daypack 2
  • Nostalgic tech trinkets
Software:
  • Figma
  • VS Code
  • Notion
  • Spotify
What is your favorite item in your workspace?
Finishing the desk-top and affixing it to the Fully frame felt a bit like crafting my own lightsaber. I'd always wanted a standing desk with a ton of open space made from natural materials. The finish took about 5 coats over 4 days and I've re-organized the underside of the desk 3 times over to accommodate various setups and trim down on visible cords.
What sparks creativity?
I had a college professor tell me to "get off Dribbble" in my 3rd year. Some of the best advice I've ever received. I try to derive inspiration from books, games, film, and anything else I can get my hands on. I keep a cool little scrapbook of nifty packaging pieces I come across.
How do you manage work-life balance?
Already made this a resolution for 2023. Creativity hits me at odd hours and I'm learning how to harness that on a tighter schedule. Step one: waking up earlier.
What do you do in your free time?
Our golden retriever became a real water dog this year and my wife and I have been quite pre-occupied throwing toys into the pool for him to fetch. Otherwise, weightlifting and occasionally booting up Rocket League with a few friends.
