hello welcome to my desk and i thought i would show you the setup i am a graphic designer slash
youtuber so this desk has an array of purposes i also have a little shop so this also turns into a
craft desk sometimes but at the minute it's set up for graphic design and video filming so i thought
i would show you what it looks like talk through everything i'll share links to everything i can
find in the description and yeah let's just have a little walk through the desk firstly
this little guy is the reason i can't sit at my desk right now
i walked off for two minutes and then you took my sparks obviously it's warm so this is gus he is
my little office pal so from the back this is what the desk looks like at the minute i am set up for
filming so if i just pan around i have filming lights up which means i've got a lot more wires
hanging about down here usually this is all tucked away and there's only two wires but at the minute
we have like the wire for the mic and all that stuff but this is sort of the setup of the desk
and then if i come around this way that is what you can see i've got a little wall of
prints and postcards some of them are the ones that i've created some are ones that i've bought
from other creators but yeah let's get straight into it from left to right on the very left i have
this microphone now obviously this isn't an essential as a graphic designer but because i
film what i do a lot i have this microphone and it's on a i think these are called like a boom
stand don't hold me to that and then this mic was recommended to me so i got this and i like
that it's resistant to me like vibrations because the mic itself is in this stand and it's on the
arm so when i'm like nudging the desk you can't hear it on the mic because like when you tap it
on my old one which is here you could feel the vibrations of me tapping the desk through the mic
so that was frustrating so we now have this one and i really like that it moves
in and out whenever i need it then down here we have it's a laptop stand or a screen
stand thing but i didn't like it here i found that it actually took up more room than it was helpful
so i've actually just put it here as like a little extra drawer this pulls out which by the minute i
can't get to again so i'm in my filming set up that's just got like random stuff in and then
on top we have my daily planner i use these every single day it's got a work life balance on it so
any work tasks go in here and i can tick them off down there same with the life top three priorities
uh today's treat and then any notes and all that kind of stuff um i actually these are
mine i make these in my shop so i'll leave those linked always have my phone nearby it's usually
propped up like this watching a video then we have a little pen pot from typo some scissors
don't know where all the pens have gone my apple watch this little clippy thing is actually really
cool it clips onto the top of your like camera or your phone and it lights up it's rechargeable i
believe or it's battery i can't remember i have a couple of these and these are really helpful for
like filming reels and stuff and then i have this lamp which is from homesense a while ago
this little corkboard is a new addition this was this is literally just like a trivet thing
from ikea and i'm starting a pin collection so that's why that's up there and yeah here my prints
see like this one's mine this one's mine this one's mine and then we have
some from apple cheeks we've got laurel may art we've got jessica smith illustrates yeah a bunch
of creative bits then the main event i guess i have my laptop this stand is from jysk i mainly
got it because it folds away and i just took it down the side of that chair when i'm not using it
and i also got it because it's big enough for me to store stuff underneath
and when they're underneath you can't see them when i'm filming so
underneath i have like the unit thing that controls the mic it's not plugged in at the
minute but this is like the volume and stuff and then i also have my hard drive which is plugged in
via this adapter i do not understand why apple got rid of like usb slots and like the sd card slots
i love my laptop but that's one thing i would change about it is the macbook pro 2021
i think i'll link in the description it's great it handles everything i throw at it
much better than my old laptop so it was definitely a good investment the only thing that
annoys me is literally this i don't understand the battery life on this is incredible so
10 out of 10 for that then underneath this is currently charging but it is wireless we
have this mx keyboard from lodgy i love this this when i'm not using it tucks away underneath there
i also have the mouse this is the mx master three mouse and this is so ergonomic it's
really nice to hold and this little wheel here moves the screen sideways or you can set it up
to do whatever you want it is like a more pricey mouse this was very kindly gifted to me but i do
love it and i find myself reaching for this wheel on regular mice when i use other ones so this is
a great purchase if you're always at your desk like i am then these little mats just from amazon
just to protect my wrists and i actually got this yesterday this little armrest thing it's not the
it's not the most attractive things and i probably won't keep it on here all the time but for days
like this when i'm filming a lot it means i can like rest my arm on the desk it's literally just
clamped underneath and it does feel sort of cheap but i mean it does the job and yeah just spin it
out and then when i'm working i have my arm on here and i'm not like bending my wrist i just want
to protect myself you know i think that was like a tenner from amazon oh i'm sorry if i woken you up
he's so tired then i have snacks essential snacks grapes and then there's a cereal bar
under here which you'll have already seen i always have my water with me and then
sometimes i either have my ipad next to me at this moment it's my ipad this is the ipad pro but
it's an old version the new ones don't have like the home button but this literally does does the
job so i'm gonna keep that it is quite big it's literally the same size as my laptop screen wise
but quite like it i bought it whilst i was at uni if i don't have this out then i will either have
my wacom drawing tablet plugged in so this is just usb you can get wireless ones now but this is
quite old so this is literally just the basic the most basic you can get drawing tablet basically
this little pen comes with it draw straight on here and i used to use this all the time at uni
then if i don't have either of those i have this portable monitor out so this is from vue sonic
and it literally plugs straight into the laptop via a is it thunderbolt connection
so i don't have to put my adapter in to solve the stupid dilemma and this has its own stand like so
and i plug that in and put it next to my screen and that just
means i can have like my calendar up i can have notes up when i'm filming
so this sort of changes depending on what i'm doing at the minute i'm creating patterns
for my friends business so i'm drawing things on here and transferring them so that's why this is
here i guess i do need to mention the desk itself i don't know why i've not mentioned this earlier
so it's a flexi spot desk it is actually a sit stand desk so when i want to stand up and work
or when i'm packing orders or crafting like i said this is a craft table as well this is the
desk and i've programmed these three buttons to do different levels according to what i need them for
so i think that's pretty much it isn't it ghost this chair is from ikea the rug
which is really funky actually it's like a funky shape is from habitat behind the desk i have ikea
alex draws i feel like everyone knows what these are my little inspiration board whatever yet
should change my old mic which is actually really good i just don't use it as often anymore just
because of like the convenience of having this one on its like arm this is the blue yeti microphone
and then just these like drawers and a little desk tidy back from when i live with my parents
and this little sign which always falls over so yeah let's do one last overview this is my desk
this is the cat who thinks he owns the place sorry i've woken you up haven't i yeah this is
where i work from so i hope you've enjoyed this video i wanted to keep it quite realistic that's
why i've not taken anything away i've not tried to tidy up this is literally what it looks like
so um if you'd like to see a full office tour let me know give this video a thumbs
up and i'll know that you want an office tour and yeah thank you very much for watching
you
