The Setup
Inspired by Daniel Bogan's Uses This and my own terrible memory, this is an overview of the technology I rely on to do my job.
Hardware
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
- iPad Pro first gen
- iPhone X
Software
Constant companions
The first things that get installed on a new machine.
- Sublime Text + Emmet for almost everything that involves words or code.
- Sketch with a litany of plugins: Connection Arrows, Automate, Lippy, Sketch Palettes, Symbol and Artboard Organizer, and Zeplin.
- Zeplin for collaborating on design systems and handing off to developers.
- Adobe CC - just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
- Tower is a nice multi-provider GUI for git that saves me from Googling cli flags all the time.
- 1Password has been my go-to password manager for years and continues to be excellent.
- ProtoPie and Framer for protoyping new products or workflows.
- Dropbox because Google Drive sucks and iCloud Drive has terrible cross-platform support.
