I design and run Ugmonk - A small design studio in Downingtown, PA focussed on creating and curating products that combine form & function. We are most known for our workspace products like Analog and Gather that help you stay more organized and productive.
Setup
Been using an iMac as my main machine for many years and love the big screen and all-in-one form factor. This one is from 2019 and still going strong.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Magic Mouse. I’ve been using a Magic Mouse ever since it was released and haven’t been able to switch to anything else. I love the smooth inertia scrolling and multitouch gestures, but it's not the most ergonomic.
This simple to-do list system I created has had a major impact on my daily focus. I copy down my tasks for the day from my digital task manager and it stares back at my all day so I can't ignore it or get distracted.
Not only do they look stunning, but they also sound fantastic.
This adds a nice bit of cushion and I much prefer using my mouse with a mousepad vs directly on my desk.

My main focus right now is Analog. It's taking off like crazy and so cool to see people resonate with the simple, physical task system.
