This Is How I Work

Starting a new year in 2019 we find ourselves taking stock of the year behind and where we want to be in 2019. Taking an inventory of how you work and how you can improve is something that should be done regularly.

I really enjoy tech articles of famous people who detail how they work and show their setups. Please visit my "Selected Work" page, to see how I work. I thought I would take a crack at it and show you the tools I use to get work done.

In 2019 my focus will be to improve in every area of my life. Below is how I work, please drop me an email if you have a great way to improve what you see!

  • Role: Digital Life
  • Client: All
  • Agency: ISAS
  • Year: 2019

Below is my desk setup for 2019. The monitor is serviceable but would like to have a bigger single monitor with higher resolution. A single monitor that would be the equivalent of two 19" monitors side by side would be ideal.

I'm certainly not an expert coder, but having code on one side and the application on the other so you can see updates as you make changes is handy.
