Things I like

Books, games, tools I personally like, use and found value in as a designer.

Books

The benefits of reading are undeniable from enhancing knowledge to reducing stress, pure enjoyment and more... I usually read to learn from authors' years of experience in a few hours (books are such treasures in this manner) or get inspired by fiction characters' stories. Here I wanted to share some of my favourite books that have had a big impact on my life. I hope you will find them useful as well.

Hardware

Equipment I use day to day in my office.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard

    I tried many other keyboards and always ended up going back this slim, smooth one.

  • Apple AirPods (3rd generation)

    This is where the Apple ecosystems shines. This may not be giving high quality sound like the Sony headphone above, but the convenience is incomparable.

  • De'Longhi Bean to Cup Coffee Maker

    OK, the machine itself is not in my office : ) but the certainly the coffee from it. Especially Espresso, Long Coffee and Macchiato. A designer's fuel : )

Applications

Applications I use and love in my personal and professional life.

  • Squarespace

    This is my first suggestion when someone non-technical asks for advice on how to build a website. My wife is running her blog via Squarespace. Peace of mind solution.

  • Webflow

    Once I built a landing page with Webflow. It was very enjoyable. Since then I have been looking for an excuse to use it again.
