"I'm just an IT guy who loves technology and a clean work space. I started getting into desk setups during quarantine, and realized how much I enjoy making my space as clean, functional, and visually appealing as possible (to me at least)."

"My plans for my setup are probably to just keep improving it, as that's what I'm finding I enjoy the most. There's always a new way to cable manage, a new desk mat, or a new style in general that appeals to me, so I'll set out to try and re-create a certain style that I love. Technology never stops changing and improving, which keeps me coming back over and over again. I'm fortunate enough to love technology, and I love incorporating new technology into my ever-changing workspace."
Monitor
Dell S3220DGF 32-Inch 2K QHD Curved Monitor
The Dell S3220DGF is an impressive 1440p gaming monitor. It has a curved design and it doesn't take up much room, even with the support stand attached. Gaming feels responsive due to the fast refresh rate and low input lag. Also, the native FreeSync support should help reduce any screen tearing. It can display deep blacks in a dimly lit room thanks to its VA panel's high contrast ratio. That said, its viewing angles are inadequate, which means that images look washed out when viewed from the side. It has decent reflection handling and okay peak brightness, making it suitable for a moderately-lit room, but visibility can be an issue if there's direct light.
Monitor Stand
VIVO Single Monitor Desk Mount Stand
Single monitor mount fitting most screens 13” to 27” in size and 22 lbs in weight with 75x75mm or 100x100mm backside mounting holes. Mount to your desk with heavy-duty C-clamp or optional grommet. Adjustable arm offers +90° to -90° tilt, 360° swivel, 360° rotation, and height adjustment along the center pole. The monitor can be placed in portrait or landscape orientation.
"The BenQ Monitor Light Bar has been one of my favorite recent additions to my setup. It provides clean overhead light that perfectly lights up the space right in front of my monitor, without getting any glare on the monitor itself. It has an "auto" feature that can automatically adjust the brightness & temperature of the light based on ambient lighting, and overall just looks great sitting on top of any monitor."
Monitor Lamp
This screenbar is using a built-in ambient light sensor screen Bar adjusts the brightness level throughout the day for an eye-healthy workspace It can also be manually dimmed with the touch control. Hue adjustable color temperature to provide focus and comfort; warm light for relaxing, cool light for work efficiency.
Webcam
According to Business Insider review, the Logitech Brio is an excellent webcam that captures video at a range of resolutions and frame rates with great color accuracy and HDR support for enhancing the overall image quality. The dual microphones guarantee clear audio, making this a great webcam for recording presentations or video conferencing. The Brio may also be the best choice right now for anyone looking to stream in 4K.
Desk Shelf
Coming in six pieces, the Grovemade desk shelf is incredibly easy to assemble with clear and well-illustrated instructions. The top of this walnut version is made of 15-ply premium walnut plywood and the rest of the shelf is comprised of aluminum and natural cork that is hand stained with Japanese calligraphy ink. At 46-inches wide, and capable of holding up to 50-pounds, it is big enough to hold two monitors or any other configuration you might have.

A 96% layout (100-key) wireless mechanical keyboard with a number pad in a compact design that’s built for peak productivity and a great tactile typing experience. And you can connect the K4 with up to 3 devices via Bluetooth or to a single device with the USB Type-C wired option. The K4 can last up to 72 hours typing, or up to 7 days of normal use (8 hrs/day) with a 4000 mAh big battery; one of the most powerful among mechanical keyboards. N-key rollover (NKRO) on wired mode or 6KRO on wireless mode.
Keyboard Wrist Rest

Mouse
You can pair with up to 3 computers and seamlessly switch between them at the touch of a button (Easy-Switch technology). It feels excellently built, and it has an ergonomic shape and a thumb rest that should make it feel very comfortable for most hand sizes during long periods of use. It has a good number of programmable buttons and nice features like gesture commands, infinite scrolling, and multi-device pairing.
"The Deltahub Carpio wrist rest has been a game changer for me ever since finding out about it over a year ago. Being in IT, I work at my desk a lot and having that extra wrist support makes spending all day using a mouse much easier."
Mouse Wrist Rest
Carpio reinforces the pressure from the wrist to the palm (thenar and hypothenar part) and improves your arm position by lifting your wrist for 1.2 cm and reducing the harmful extension. Designed with a V style gap in the middle to allow blood flow throughout your hand. This innovative design allows the wrist rest to glide with your hand as you use your mouse on your mouse pad. This removes the need to move and readjust your wrist into different positions. This is great for large mouse pads or low DPI / sensitivity mice settings.
Desk Pad
DeltaHub Minimalistic Desk Pad
This pad is made with felt fabric and the felt is a type of matted fabric that consists of textile fibers condensed and pressed together. Traditionally made with wool or another type of animal fur, it's now possible to make felt with acrylic and other forms of synthetic fibers. This pad is a great option, but little pricy.

Wall Prints
MCLAREN MP4/4 - AYRTON SENNA - 1988 - SAN MARINO GP - 1988 - POSTER
Circuit of the Americas, American Grand Prix, Formula 1, MotoGP Racing Track Poster
"Over the last few years I've become more and more interested in F1 and have been trying to soak as much of it in as I can. Instagram's algorithms did their job and kept showing me ads for @iamautomobilist and @thegpbox prints, and I just couldn't help myself but order two prints which I thought would fit my setup, and were also just awesome prints in general."
Chair
The Secretlab Omega 2020 gaming chair offers almost every kind of adjustment you could want, including incredibly adjustable armrests. Overall, the chair isn’t extremely stiff, but it is firm. You can soften the experience with the 2 included pillows, which are soft and squishy dreams come true. Plus, we’ve confirmed the leather’s spill-resistance and premium feel. In case you need any alternate options, you may try this link HERE.
Smart Display
The Google Nest Hub's touchscreen is responsive and works well in combination with Google Assistant, whether you ask for help on a recipe or check what's on your calendar. Pictures and videos look particularly crisp thanks to an ambient light sensor that adapts the screen brightness and warmth to match the room. A control panel screen makes it easy to organize and control your smart home devices. The cameraless, petite Google Nest Hub will blend into any room in your home. It's affordable, and quite useful as a digital assistant (especially in the kitchen), a photo frame and a smart-home control panel. And if you have Amazon devices at home, you might want to check out Echo Show 8 instead.
Controller
Microsoft has delivered a fancy controller with some handy tweaks to the original. It comes with a decent number of extras to add value, but the experience suffers from faults that shouldn’t be present in this price range, especially when the original Xbox Elite controller is now cheaper and has almost the same functionally but without the issues.
Drawer
This nice and simple drawer is one of best seller at Ikea. During last year pandemic, this drawer was out of stock for a long time, and still consistently sells out. In case you can not get it from Ikea, you might want to try alternates from HERE.
Mini Plants
This artificial potted plants don’t require a green thumb. Perfect when you have better things to do than water plants and pick up dead leaves. You’ll have everyone fooled because they look so lifelike.
Earbud
Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds
Bose set its sights on creating the best noise-cancelling experience in the true wireless space, and the QuietComfort Earbuds accomplish this with gusto. The fact that it’s almost capable of producing the same ANC performance as the Bose 700 is remarkable. You’re going to get some delightful sound and excellent call quality out of the buds as well, which makes the most out of the Bose’s noise-cancelling technology for undisrupted phone calls and video chats.
"The LIFX Beams are probably the most asked about items in my setup, and I was also so curious about them when I first saw them on @spawnpoiint's setup. The look very clean and minimalistic, and give you the ability to completely change the look and feel of your entire setup just by choosing a new lighting scene/color."

Yellow Book
This book brings together a collection of over 400 maps produced by the United States National Park Service from 1910 to today. Photographer Brian Kelley has impulsively archived the rarely seen treasures over the past three years, uncovering a design portfolio with little to no credit to their respective designers. The growing collection displays a progressive design approach, from more typographic-driven covers, to the proliferation of duotone print production, culminating in the Unigrid system developed by Italian designer Massimo Vignelli in the 1970s.
And finally we asked how he takes such good photos of his setup.
Photography is definitely a hobby for me, and not my primary job! I typically try to make sure I have good lighting - that's key! Depending on what I'm shooting, I try to make sure there's some foreground elements (if possible) to add some additional depth to the photo as well. While I do shoot a lot with my Canon camera, a lot of my content is also shot with my phone! Regardless of what you're shooting with, I think having proper lighting is what can make or break a photo!
Camera
Canon EOS R6 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
The Canon EOS R6 is a 20MP full-frame mirrorless camera aimed at enthusiast photographers and videographers. It sits below the R5 much as the EOS 6Ds did beneath the 5D DSLRs, and offers a well-rounded combination of features for both disciplines. It's also one of the first enthusiast-level cameras to shoot both stills and video that can exploit the capabilities of the latest high-dynamic range displays.
Lens
Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM Lens
Canon RF 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro is a versatile carry-around lens for Canon's new EOS R system. The only non-'L' lens in the initial RF lineup, the 35mm F1.8 provides a lightweight, compact and relatively affordable solution for EOS R and RP shooters. Optical quality is high, and effective optical stabilization makes this lens useful in a wide range of shooting conditions.
Camera Lighting
Lume Cube Bicolor Mountable LED Light
Features 112 bicolor LEDs, adjustable brightness, and color temperature from 3200K to 5600K (in 100k unit increments). Pair with your DSLR camera to get the perfect photography lighting.
