I love my Steelcase Leap chair - it's helped immensely with reducing my back pain and worth the investment.
When I'm out and about, I use my 13-inch Dell Inspiron 7380 laptop for lightweight work.
Depending on the project I'm working on, I also have access to an array of electronics hardware - Arduinos, breadboards, jumper wires, sensors, LEDs, kits, multimeter, etc.
I document my work using a tripod and my Panasonic Lumix G7 camera.
Communication
I primarily use Google's suite of software to manage my day-to-day work, including emails, calendar, web browsing, and file management.
Productivity
For tracking my hours, I use Clockify.
Notes
Coding & Development
As for programming electronics, I mainly use the Arduino IDE for that.
Design
When it comes to planning our public art installations, Google Earth is great for measuring distances of sites which we cannot visit straight away.
