On a work-from-home day you'll find me deep in my comfy couch, vigorously typing on my personal 15-inch MacBook Pro from 2014 (it still works perfectly!).
My typing is done via a gifted pink and white mechanical keyboard with cherry MX brown keys, and when I need some serious focus time I put on my Audio-Technica ATH-WS990BT wireless over-ear headphones (purchased last-minute before a 14-hour flight to a speaking gig in South Africa).
Communication
Productivity
As of January I am working on features to help folks accomplish their goals at Asana, a work management tool.
The Game Devs of Color Expo uses Trello to manage projects, so I also find myself using that regularly.
Browser
Notes
Evernote is my go-to tool for writing, although I'm also currently trying out Notion.
Coding & Development
Before Asana, I designed tools that helped creative individuals build small businesses on Etsy.
Design
Storage
Via Chrome I access Google Drive, which is my main form of design documentation, and Asana for personal task management.
