Tools I Use to Build, Think, and Create with Intention.

These are the tools I use to design brands, build websites, create mobile apps, or simply write. Here is a list of the software, devices, and gear I rely on every single day.

Workstation

  • 13 MacBook Air M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD (2022)

    I use this for almost everything from building iOS apps and developing websites to crafting brand identities. It is my daily driver, and I spend most of my day working on it.

  • iPhone SE 3 (2022)

    A compact and practical phone without the hassle of Face ID. I mainly use it for communication and quickly jotting down small ideas so I do not forget.

  • Apple EarPods with Type-C

    They do not make keyboards the way they used to. I buy these any time I see them go up for sale and keep them in storage in case I need parts or need to retire my main.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    My go-to code editor, especially for web programming. Out of all the editors I have tried, this one just feels right.

  • NetBeans IDE

    A must-have for me when working on iOS app developmen reliable and part of my daily workflow.

Design

  • Adobe Illustrator

    Great for light design work like creating branding assets or simple quote graphics.

  • Figma

    I use Figma for designing UI both for mobile apps and websites. It is flexible and great for collaboration.

Productivity

  • Notion

    My main writing space. I use it to draft long-form content, structure my thoughts, and prepare articles before publishing.

  • Apple Notes

    Perfect for quick idea dumps or capturing anything I do not want to forget. Simple, clean, and syncs beautifully across devices.

  • Notebook & Pen

    Even in this digital age, writing by hand still feels meaningful. I often use this setup when studying or trying to focus deeply.
