What I use.

Where almost all the work happens. 18GB of RAM, 1TB.

Second monitor, so Figma and the browser fit side by side.

Low-profile mechanical — more comfortable than the laptop keyboard for long sessions.

The smooth horizontal scroll makes a real difference in Figma.

My default tool: UI, prototypes, specs, and design systems.

For discovery workshops, journey maps, and information architecture.

Tasks and roadmaps. Faster than Jira for small teams.

Design system documentation and research notes.

My main editor, with GitHub Copilot and the Tailwind, ESLint, and Prettier extensions.

For when I work close to the edge of what I know technically.

A terminal with decent autocomplete.

My public and private repositories.

For headings and body text. A variable font with weight and optical-size axes.

The editorial serif I use for accents and the blog. Variable too.

For code blocks.

The book I most recommend to engineers who want to understand design.

Good for discussing product cycles. Less so for following to the letter.

My mental model for product discovery and for understanding the product, design, and engineering roles.
