Tell us a bit about yourself.

As a content creator based in Beijing, I spend most of my time reviewing digital products. I have always been fascinated by technology, and it's a great pleasure for me to share my experiences and insights with others. When I'm not working, you can find me indulging in my passion for sports. I love longboarding along the scenic routes of Beijing, skiing down the snowy slopes of the nearby mountains, practicing archery at the local range, or playing badminton with my friends. Sports keep me fit and energized, and they provide a great way for me to unwind after a long day of work. Apart from sports, I am also a movie enthusiast. I love the way movies transport me to different worlds, challenge my perspectives, and inspire me to be more creative in my work.

What do you usually do at your desk?

My usual routine involves engaging in a variety of activities. I shoot videos for my vlog or youtube channel. Once I'm done with filming, I move on to the editing phase where I spend time adding effects, trimming, and enhancing the video footage. Apart from video editing, I also spend a considerable amount of time writing copies for my blog or website. Meanwhile, I take some time off to rejuvenate my mind by playing games. This helps me to relax, unwind, and get my creative juices flowing before I begin any serious work. Overall, this routine helps me to stay productive, focused, and motivated throughout the day.

When did you start to work on your desk setup?

My fascination with desk setups goes back to the time when I stumbled upon some intriguing photos on Weibo. The pictures, related to Everyday Carry (EDC), caught my attention with their interesting and unique arrangements. I was amazed by how some people had organized their workspaces so creatively, making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The attention to detail and the effort put into customizing each setup was truly inspiring to me. From that moment on, I began to explore more about desk setups and started to develop my own style and preferences.

What's your desk setup aesthetics?

I'm drawn to the aesthetic of industrial loft style, and I love the idea of bringing that vibe into my desk setup. The style is characterized by a mixture of vintage and modern elements, with a focus on function over form. I prefer pieces that are simple, minimalist, and utilitarian, rather than ornate or overly decorative. Overall, I want my space to have a hardcore and unpolished feel that exudes a sense of industrial strength and durability.

Your advice for beginners getting into Desk Setup.

It's better to make gradual changes to your desk setup than to strive for perfection all at once. Remember that the perfect desk setup is the one that suits you best.
