I am a freelance editor, writer, and producer and two-time Emmy winner. I love making interesting work with good people. I also love books and dogs. I run a newsletter that offers 5 great links every week. You can subscribe here:

PHYSICAL
Uniball Vision Elite Rollerball Pens - This is a great pen. It feels almost like painting. Its just a tiny bit messy at times, but so is life.
Field Notes Brand Heavy Duty Edition - I adore Field Notes. They have a new styled notebook every quarter. You can subscribe and get a discount but I buy them thinking I won’t need the next one. I’m always wrong. I use the pocket notebooks for logging my day and the larger ones for gathering my thoughts.
NuPhy Air96 V2 keyboard - I used the standard Mac keyboard forever. I didn’t realize how much I missed the tactile clacks. And its retro looks are so stylish.
DIGITAL
Clean Shot X - supercharges the mac's screen capture tool. Clean Shot makes it easy to annotate your screenshots, too. So helpful for drawing someone’s attention to areas of a website.
Text Sniper - Extract text from images. Why is this tool not built in? You see text in an image and rather than having to retype, Text Sniper allows you take essentially an invisible screenshot, that loads the image’s text into your clipboard. Very accurate.
INVISIBLE
“I am searching for that which is real of my heart, and which when completed I can stand humble to one side of and say: ‘This is it, this is how I feel, this is my honest interpretation of the world; this is not influenced by money, or trickery, or pressure...except the pressure of my soul.’” — W. Eugene Smith
