BRANCH ERGO CHAIR
A great chair is a must if you work long hours. After working from home for over 3+ years I have found the best chair for me. Ergonomically designed, customizable, and sleek Branch's ergonomic office chairs are the best for your home office.
MACBOOK PRO
I have been team Mac for over a decade now. As a designer, solopreneur, and content creator there is no better option. I personally build my MacBooks to be fully spec'd out so any creative task becomes a breeze. Linked is the model of MacBook pro I use.
BLUETOOTH MIC | RODE MIC PRO
Rode makes the best microphones for home office use. They have great sound quality and easily connect to your camera or computer. Light, mobile, and high quality I use the Rode Mic Pro in all my online meetings, and Youtube videos.
WALKING PAD
Sitting at your desk all day is terrible for you. That is why I use a foldable walking pad so I can walk while I work at my standing desk. I can exercise while I work, and maintain my energy levels throughout the day by being up and moving. A great purchase for a home office!
PIMALLY PURE SKIN CARE
I use only organic skincare and body products from Primally Pure. Made with only natural ingredients it has helped me with acne and oily skin. Beautifully branded and easy to read you know what you are putting on your body and that it is natural.

YOUTUBE/OFFICE SETUP
These are the products I use to create Youtube videos and short-form content. All camera equipment and editing software is included here. I will keep this section updated as I add new products or workflows.
BRANCH STANDING DESK
Branchs standing desk has been a game changer. This is fully adjustable standing desk you see in my Youtube set. I can adjust it up and down to get the perfect shot, along with setting it up for longer coaching calls or when I want to stand and work.
GVM 18.5" TELEPROMPTER
GVM's 18.5" teleprompter is a game changer. This larger teleprompter comes with an 18" android tablet and software for all of your script reading needs. Professional quality and build at an affordable price. This was one of the first investments I made into my Youtube set.
APPLE 32" PRO DISPLAY XDR 6K
I use 2 32" pro displays on my primary desk for design work and video editing. The 6k 32" screens come in handy for seeing finer details during projects so I can make the best work possible. After a year using these, I could never go back to non-apple displays.
GVM 150W RGB VIDEO LIGHT KIT
I use a set of 3 different GVM lights for my Youtube set. They are affordable, great quality, and can be adjusted as needed. These are a great investment if you are building out a set, or need more lighting in your office for video calls.
PANASONIC LUMIX S5II MIRRORLESS CAMERA
I recently swapped over from Canon to Pansasonic and could not be happier with my new camera. In my opinion the Lumix S5II is the best photo/video camera you can get under $2,000 USD. Cinematic quality in a small, beautiful camera body for a killer price.
FINAL CUT PRO
I use Final Cut Pro for all video editing. This includes video editing for Youtube, and short-form content. The software is reliable, beginner friendly, and has one set price. It is in my opinion the best video editing software if you are using a Mac computer. (MAC ONLY)
NEEWER 79" Aluminum Tripod
For my teleprompter, I needed a super heavy-duty tripod. This tripod is built like a tank and could survive getting thrown off a mountain. It is perfect for large mountable equipment like teleprompters, camera sliders, or large cinematic camera rigs.
IPAD PRO 12.9"
The IPad Pro has been my secret design weapon for many years. I use the apple pencil and procreate to hand drawn design work, logos, and sometimes frame by frame animations. If you are a creator, designer, or illustrator you need to invest in a IPad.
