Uses

My toolkit

Everything I use to design, animate, build, and ship — updated occasionally. Inspired by uses.tech.

LG UltraGear Monitor
High-refresh IPS panel. Accurate colours for design work and fast enough for gaming. Sits front and centre on the desk.

iPad M3
Used for sketching, reference, Figma on the go, and as a second screen via Sidecar. The M3 chip handles everything — no lag on large Figma files.
Design & Creative
šŸŽØ
Figma Daily
Primary tool for UI/UX, wireframing, component libraries and client presentations. Everything starts here. Auto-layout and variables have changed how I work.
🌐
Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator
PS for photo retouching, compositing and social media graphics. Illustrator for logos, icons and anything that needs to be truly vector. Still best-in-class for both.
šŸŽ¬
Adobe After Effects & Premiere Pro
AE for all motion graphics work — logo reveals, kinetic type, UI animations. Premiere for video editing and final assembly. Paired with Cinema 4D for 3D compositing.
šŸ”·
Blender Growing
Free, powerful, and constantly improving. I use it for 3D character animation, product visualisation, and VFX. Cycles renderer for photorealistic output.
šŸŽµ
FL Studio + Audition
FL Studio for composing original music and sound design. Audition for clean audio editing, noise reduction, and mixing for video.
Development

Editor for all HTML/CSS/JS work. Extensions: Prettier, Live Server, GitLens, and the One Dark Pro theme. Simple and fast.
