OBS
Content Creation, Video Production
I’ve been using OBS for a couple of years now to record videos and host livestreams. It’s free, open source, and can handle everything I need it to do without a problem — from tutorial videos to live interviews — OBS handles it all.

Notion
I’ve just recently added Notion to my tools as a replacement for Google docs, and I’m already enjoying the benefits. Everything is more organized, easier to find, and it’s an absolute joy to write in. I end up doing a lot of writing, so I’m excited to see how much more productive I’ll be with Notion going into 2023.

iMovie
Content Creation, Video Production
I had been struggling to wrap my brain around Premiere Pro for years, without much success. When I got my MacBook, I decided to give iMovie a try, and I instantly improved my video production. It’s not fancy, but it can make quick work of the types of video content I create (which is mostly using jump cuts to remove all my mistakes).

Figma
I spent about 15 years in the design industry working all day in Adobe Illustrator. When I moved to web, I continued to use it… but I’ve realized it’s not the best tool for web design. Thankfully, Figma was built for that and over the past year or so I’ve started designing sites in Figma and using the fantastic components and auto layout features.
