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.
