Tools And Setup About lists the gear and software in four grouped cards: Hardware (MacBook Pro 14-inch M3 Max, LG 4K monitor, Sony A7 IV, iPad Pro 12.9-inch); Design and motion (Figma, After Effects, Photoshop, Affinity Publisher); Development (VS Code, Terminal zsh with Starship, Vercel, Framer); Productivity and writing (Obsidian, Linear, Notion, iA Writer). Each tool carries a short note, main machine, daily, editor of choice for the past six years. The lede is direct: most of what is here has been here for a while; new things earn their place.

Reach for this block as the setup or uses section of a portfolio for a creative who works across design, code, and photography. The installer swaps the categories and tools to reflect their own stack, keeping the notes honest about what each tool is actually used for.
