Hardware, software & gadgets I use.

Here's a list of software and gear I'm familiar with and use regularly. I'm pretty good at picking up new processes and gadgets, so am keen to work with your existing productivity pipeline.

Workstation

  • MacBook Air, Apple M1 + MacBook Pro, Apple M1 Pro

    I'm a bit sold on the Apple experience. It's not just about the packaging.

  • Apple iPhone 15 Pro / dev mode

    I'm really interested in spatial computing and where user experiences are going next. The 15 Pro in dev mode gives the user access to creating 3D wireframe compatible video (in landscape). During my tenure with Gretel, we were using stereoscopic computer vision devices (OakD lite). I'm keen to stay on the front foot as user experiences transition into AR - Tools that enable designing for this space are essential. I played with a Vision Pro recently - very keen to design for their users.

  • reMarkable 2 Tablet

    If you're a note taker, visual communicator or regular ideator you need to get across this gadget. It has been a complete game changer for me. Distraction free, not back-lit (great for journaling before sleep), actually feels like you're writing, syncs with cloud, converts handwritten to text, constantly updating software. I can't fault it.

  • Oak-D Lite

    The OAK-D Lite is a compact and affordable spatial AI camera designed for robotics and computer vision applications, offering a balance of performance and cost. It's a smaller, more budget-friendly version of the original OAK-D, featuring a central RGB camera and stereo pair for depth perception. It's well-regarded for its ease of use with platforms like Raspberry Pi and its ability to offload processing to the device.
