Tools I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I get asked a lot about the things I use to plan & manage events, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 13.3” MacBook M1 (2020)

    I was using an Intel-based MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference was quite stunning. A simple MacBook Air can be just as, if not more, powerful than a relative recent MacBook Pro (prior the M1s).

  • LG 27” UltraFine 5K IPS Monitor

    Very curios to try the Apple Pro Display XDR next but because of how amazing the LG has been, I’m not in a rush to upgrade.

  • MX Keys for Mac

    Love the travel time of this keyboard. Feels similar to the MacBooks, but a little more travel. It’s designed to work seamlessly with Macs & iPads. A pretty decent keyboard for developers.

  • MX Master 3S

    I’ve been using the MX Master 3 for a few years now and it’s been great. The MX Master 3S feels similar, with a few minor improvements, like the clicks. The scroll wheel is great as always!

Events

  • I live in Playa Vista Catering Team

    It is important to have a great catering team to make sure your event is a success. I have been working with the team at Great Catering for years and they are amazing.

Design

  • Figma

    We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for everything.

  • Canva

    Canva is a great tool for creating social media graphics and presentations.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    With a pretty UI, Raycast makes it simple, fast and delightful to control my tools. I love the fact I can assign custom keyboard shortcuts to anything.

  • SavvyCal

    Great tool for scheduling meetings while protecting my calendar and making sure I still have lots of time for deep work during the week.
