Tools, tech, and gear I use daily.
As a creative designer with an AuDHD brain, my setup is engineered around friction reduction: eliminating cognitive dropouts, protecting auditory bandwidth, offloading working memory to physical paper, and keeping systems autonomous.
01. On-Body Carry & The Split Rig
4 items
Car Key Module & VAFOTON 240W Cable
Eliminates cable clutter while ensuring an ultra-high-wattage charging tether is physically anchored to the car keys at all times.
Orbitkey Key Organiser Rig
Jangling keys create subtle, repetitive auditory irritation that drains sensory bandwidth over time.
Resqme Car Escape Tool
Non-negotiable vehicle safety utility that adds near-zero weight or bulk to the physical key stack.
SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go (128GB)
Ensures diagnostic ISOs, vehicle schematics, and critical offline docs are accessible in milliseconds without network reliance.
02. Sensory Protection & Working Memory
4 items
Field Notes (Kraft Dot-Grid 3.5" x 5.5")
Paper has zero notification badges to hijack the dopamine loop. Essential for rapid wireframes and scratchpad logic.
Loop Quiet 2 Earplugs
Electronic batteries inevitably go flat; passive silicone attenuation never fails.
Google Pixel Buds Pro
Cumulative auditory static drains executive function fast. Active attenuation protects baseline working memory.
Uni Jetstream 4&1 Multi-Pen
Eliminates having five loose pens rolling around the bottom of a pack.
03. The Utility Rig (Daily Hardware)
4 items
Anker Nano Power Bank
Tangled charging cords are an executive dysfunction tax when needing transit passes or navigation in a pinch.
B-2 Probe by STLTH
Saves fingernails from breaking on stubborn plastic tabs, SIM trays, or adhesive seals.
Olight Pro Torch
Phone flashlights are awkward, inefficient battery sinks.
Swann-Morton Retractable Scalpel
Replaces oversized, aggressive pocket knives with clean, replaceable surgical precision.
