Organized Home Office – 2020 Update
As a content creator and designer, my needs have grown and changed, so I wanted my space to reflect that. After working in my home office for a year, I made updates to meet my new needs. More storage, better organization, and ways to squeeze out more space in my small room.

WALI Single LCD Monitor Desk Mount Fully Adjustable Stand Fits 1 Screen up to 27 inch, 22 lbs. Weight Capacity (M001), Black
To make even more room on my desk, I installed this simple monitor arm to keep my monitor raised to the correct eye-level. I also use the arm to mount Phillips Hue Play lights to illuminate the back of the monitor. And occasionally, I mount an articulating arm for my microphone, directly on this monitor arm.
Twelve South BookArc for MacBook | Space-Saving Vertical Desktop Stand for Apple notebooks (Space Grey)
Another way I created more deskspace is by using a vertical dock for my Macbook Pro. I chose this one from Twelve South to keep my desktop looking minimal and clean.
I've been told that running your laptop in clamshell mode like this, reduces airflow. I have noticed the fan working a little harder than normal when running heavy tasks like rendering. While I haven't notied a performance dip, I just thought I'd share my experience.
Audioengine A2+ 60W Powered Desktop Speakers, Built in 24Bit DAC & Analog Amplifier (White)
To give my space rich sounding audio with a clean look, I got these speakers to compliment my setup.
It has such a beautiful sound that is an absolute pleasure to listen to while I work. They're clear and have a great range of bass and treble. they connect to my Macbook Pro wirelessly via Bluetooth, to keep my desktop clean.
Philips Hue Play White & Color Smart Light, 2 Pack Base kit, Hub Required/Power Supply Included (Works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit & Google Home)
I use this set of Play lights behind my monitor to illuminate my space. These are controllable smart lights that have a wide range of RGB colors that you can dial in. They allow me to have multiple settings to match my mood. I mostly keep them at warmer temperatures, to keep my space cozy and inviting at night. Please note, you need the Phillips Smart Hub to have full control of each light.
