Hardware
- Macbook Pro
13″ Macbook Pro Retina is my daily computer for all my development needs. Not a huge fan of the touch-bar, but the rest of the computer just works. - iPhone 11 Pro
I have been a iPhone user since the iPhone 3g. It just works and I love how easy it is to sync everything with my other Apple hardware. - iPad Pro 11″
Creating sketches, writing emails, and staying in touch while traveling are the perfect use cases for the iPad. - Input Devices
Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard. - LG 34″ Ultrawide
Most of the time that I am creating I am at my desk. When I am, I hook my laptop up to this monster.
Software
- Figma
Creating website designs, user-flows, and Instagram images are all created in Figma. - VS Code
The only code editor I use these days. - CodeKit
If you are like me and you hate messing with config files and just want to jump right in and start coding, CodeKit is for you. - Local (by Flywheel)
Most of my clients use WordPress. This lets me spin up a new site in less than a minute. - Transmit
My FTP client of choice. Looks great and always just works.
Services
- ConvertKit
This is how I send out all my Brainwave newsletters. I also use ConvertKit to deliver my mini-course. - Flywheel
I don’t like messing with servers. So I let Flywheel do this for me. Pair this with local and you spend a lot less time in the server world and more time creating. - Notion
I use Notion for all my notes, project management, and creating new content. - Grammarly
I am a little self-conscious about my spelling and grammar. Grammarly gives me the confidence to put myself out there more often. - Zoom
Meeting with clients and colleagues is important for me to run my business. Zoom works, most of the time 🤷♂️ - Github
Version control is super important. I enjoy using Github so that is where I host all of my repos.
Desk
- Post-it Notes
These are one of my most used tools. Whenever I am stuck, or have a long todo list I breakout the post-its. - Moleskine
Big fan of using paper to figure out solutions to different problems. Moleskine notebooks are affordable and I have been using the dot grid version for years. - Gather
Keeping my desk organized is important for my productivity and this desk organizer looks amazing and does a great job.
Fun
- Nintendo Switch
Sometimes I need a break. I have always been a huge fan of the fun and playfullness of Nintendo games.
