I design experiences to elevate people, usually through the medium of software.
Since Sep 2025
Orange, powerful, and takes some amazing photos. As they say, 'the best camera is the one you have with you'. I really love this thing and am really going to struggle to give it up this year. I just wish the aluminium were a bit less delicate.
Since Oct 2025
A long overdue upgrade from my 2018, and so much faster. Haven't got a Magic Keyboard (yet) as trying to keep this as a touch-first interface.
Since May 2021
I have spent so many hours with these. They sound great, block out the world, and connect to whatever I need automatically.
Since Dec 2023
Reliable, powerful, and my workhorse for work and creation, along with my portal to the rest of the world.
Since Jan 2026
Blocking out the world has never been easier. These go with me everywhere, allowing me to control my stimulation and affect my mood, and connect to my favourite media - music.
Since Sep 2024
I wanted to try the foldable life, and this felt the best way. It's a great size, and has some good software, but quite delicate.
Sketch is that friend that's been with me forever. I've become super used to the interface, and can do things so quickly in it, so is intuitively where all my ideas and thoughts go to be arranged. I have sent lots of bug reports and (hopefully) helped with development. Plus they follow me on Twitter.
Claude is the first AI that actually feels like it empowers me to create and maintain good systems. It connects to everything to provide genuine assistant-level insight, and then can update things with just a prompt. I don't need to remember specific commands, it just 'knows' what I mean.
My tool for experimenting and exploring what I can create. Using the CLI lets me work on projects, and explore how AI can really help and assist; whether that's by trialing memory systems, setting up workflows to assist with daily tasks, or designing and fleshing out proof-of-concept interfaces to quickly ideate and iterate.
My second brain. Literally. I have databases upon databases on here. Work, personal life, all as organised as possible. It's how I ensure things don't get lost, or records important conclusions, giving me a way to 'search' my life.
I just love my lil Ghost. I am by no means a power user, but I have a nice shader installed alongside Starship and some Nerd Fonts, and now have a cute lil place to explore software in a different way.
I know Arc is dead, but I still haven't found a place for Work that has met Arc's functionality yet. Its Spaces are the main sticking point. I create a Space for each client or project, and then can keep all the tabs and links related to that open.
I don't draw or paint as much as I'd like, but when I want to make something, Procreate is the place I'll go to make something fun. Its interface is clean enough to not overwhelm, especially after not using it in a while, whilst still allowing power features.
I must admit, Shortcuts have become an unhealthy obsession. I love to optimise and create flows, and I have so many that I've made and never used! These feel like I'm building genuine extensions that help bridge gaps between apps, or enhance my phone beyond.
This goes with me everywhere. It was my solution to my pockets always being full (which I used to empty when I sat down), and means I just grab one thing in the morning. It contains my AirPods Pro, a MagSafe battery pack, a USB C cable, my wallet, my folding Wayfarers, spare contact lens case, IKEA clips, and Loops. … and you wouldn't be able to tell! It stays really quite flat, and the only time I have to use something else is when I'm switching to a formal outfit!
My everyday bag. It has enough pockets that I can keep all my emergency items always in there (a raincoat, cables, a battery pack, wall plug, pens) and still has places to divide my iPad from my MacBook. It distributes the weight really well, is really water resistant (I don't worry even in very heavy downpours), has an external bottle pocket, and most importantly fits within RyanAir's strict carry-on requirements!
Folding sunglasses are a game changer. They fit into so many more places (especially my hip pouch) which means they don't get lost. Plus they are easier to get out of my bag as well. A little less structurally sound, but well worth it.
I'll never lose something if it's attached to me. That's the mantra anyway. I attach things I take off, or would otherwise place on the floor to me or my bag, and it'll definitely come with me when I leave. Plus, there's been so many times when just having a way of attaching something to something else comes in useful — whether that's to not lose it, or whether it's just security.
I tried learning to fold packaging to seal it, but I never got there. These are the next best thing. Any food I don't finish gets a clip, and ensures it doesn't spill into my bag or pocket.
Being able to type quickly is important to me. I want to be able to record ideas and thoughts as quickly as I think of them. Tactility also helps with this, and the Nuphy is a really nice blend of macOS compatible, whilst having a unique design, and some nice features.
There is no better, nor more intuitive way to interact with a computer. Gestures are really intuitive, and the whole experience is just better than any mouse. The only downside is if you have damp hands or have something conductive that overlaps it, it'll pick that up.
This has been a slow integration into my workflow. I'm very much a keyboard-shortcut person, but being able to create multi-step macros is where the power really is. Launching all my work apps and resizing them, summoning a menu and pasting some text to execute an action, or even switching to another app to do something and coming back. Paired with custom keyboard shortcuts, it can create some really powerful workflows. I spend way too much time making shortcuts (and icons!). Just wish Logi Options was less buggy.
The best speakerphone/mic for calls. Genuinely. Especially when you can just tap to transfer calls to it.
This sits on my desk literally for the TouchID sensor and the numpad. TouchID right there is really crucial. It's also great as my secondary, home, keyboard, but can feel a bit tiring to type on for long sessions.
I game less and less, but am still so impressed with this tech. Wireless, but never needing to be charged is genuinely amazing. I wish the MX Master line came with this.
A great pairing with the PowerPlay. Ergonomic and responsive, with enough buttons to make sense. Just a bit light for general day-to-day use for me.
