Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hey there! I'm Caimar Salizi, a tech and desk setup enthusiast. I run a YouTube channel and Instagram account where I review and showcase the latest in desk setups and tech gear. I love helping people build their dream workspaces and share my insights and experiences with my community.

What’s your favorite item on your desk?

Thats hard to answer lol. On the decor side it will be the lightsaber. It serves as a great conversation starter and displays my love for the jedi on the star wars series; and the MX Master 3s mouse for productivity. Because it’s customizable to any program, it speeds up my workflow massively.

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

I read mostly on entrepreneurship books like the motive by Patrick Lencioni, 3 feet from Gold and the Alex Hormozi podcast. Mainly because i have a more inclined entrepreneurial mindset but i consume various types of content from Desk setups/ productivity to 3D printing, Comic/movies reviews and breakdowns.

What's your desk setup aesthetics?

Black with Walnut tones.

When did you start to work on your desk setup?

On December of 2023.

What does your typical day look like?

A typical day for me involves a lot of content creation. I spend my mornings planning and scripting videos, followed by filming and editing in the afternoon. I also make sure to engage with my community on social media, responding to comments and messages. In the evenings, I like to unwind by playing some games or working on new desk setup ideas.

What niche interest are you up to recently?

The Desk setup and tech niche.

Your advice for beginners getting into Desk Setup.

Start small, save and buy the right item once.

Any tips for other makers who want to improve their workspaces?

Absolutely! Start with the basics: a good desk and chair are essential. From there, focus on cable management and lighting. Personalized touches like artwork or themed decorations can really make your space unique and enjoyable to work in.
