I work from home and live in a net zero house, so our solar panels are a crucial piece of hardware.
I stole my husband's RØDE Podcaster mic and studio arm, which makes me sound like a pro.
I'm testing out a Razer Kiyo Pro webcam, upgraded from a generic 5 year old webcam (I can't even find a name brand on it- it was sent to me from work).
I use AirPods Pro for audio, and Apple wired headphones as a backup after I've been in meetings for 6 hours straight and the AirPods need recharging.
I'm currently using a Midori dot-grid journal and Uniball Vision Elite pens.
I don't even have a personal computer right now - I just use a (Product)Red iPhone 11.
I love to read, and often use the Kindle Paperwhite.
I cook on a Fisher and Paykel induction range which is lovely.
I used a Clever Dripper and like strong French Roast coffee.
He used an Aeropress and liked lightly roasted coffee.
Now we have a MoccaMaster KBT with Speeder and Earl's Speeder's Blend, and somehow this combo satisfies both of us completely.

For organization, I tried out a bunch of productivity apps like OmniFocus, but could never fully commit.

I work for Grindr, where my title is VP of Customer Experience.
Before Grindr, I was at OkCupid for a decade, founding and growing their support department and then also managing trust & safety and CX.
I love Metro Retro for team reflection exercises (their new version is so good!).
