Welcome to my 2026 desk setup for productivity and gaming. The goal was to create one space where I could edit videos, record high quality audio and unwind by playing games.

From my 49” ultra-wide monitor for ultimate productivity and Mac/Windows combo, my ergonomic office chair that massages my back, and all the accessories in between, everything here has improved my setup's workflow, comfort, and added a bit of personality too.

As someone who often works from home editing videos and photos and as an avid gamer, the right desk setup can make all the difference. Not only can I do my best work here but I can also kick back and play games comfortably at the end of the day.
