Tell us a bit about yourself.

I'm an experienced advertising professional, founder of an advertising and design firm, working as a creative director and part-time photographer. As a visual art enthusiast, I’m also a National Geographic member and a certified PADI diver, with a deep love for nature and the outdoors.

What’s your favorite item on your desk?

My top picks are my MacBook Pro and Hexcal Studio.

What books, blogs, or podcasts recently caught your attention?

Lately, I’ve been really into Magazine B, which spotlights a different global brand in each issue. I’m also a fan of LOST, a travel magazine that comes out annually, packed with captivating travel essays.

What's your desk setup aesthetics?

My style is modern and minimalist, focusing on the latest, top-quality tech to boost productivity.

When did you start to work on your desk setup?

I got into desk setups in 2020, after finishing renovations on my new home, where I finally had a dedicated study with a large window. I designed the layout myself, and as I began spending more time working from home, I gradually built out a complete workspace.
