This, just makes the days better!

1. YetiX Microphone
2. 2 ring Lights (for Key light and fill light)
3. Razer Kiyo Webcam
4. 2 smart switches (and now my entire setup is controlled by simply one voice command)
5. Smart Led light strip to add light effect at the backdrop
6. Plants that keep purifying the room
7. One TV, one monitor screen to create a 3 screen setup

This is the new way of life so why not make it right.

32 inch monitor. I’ll never be able to go back to laptops...

C7, in a big screen (28’’+) the corners are far when you are sitting in front of it, and it’s difficult to see what’s there unless you move your head to the side. The curved screen makes it easier as it brings the corners a little closer to the eyes.
I have both a flat and a curved, and the curved is indeed a little easier to use (both 32 inch). Not a huge difference, but you can feel it’s better.

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)
