Very dependable ink for dip pens. I've used this in multiple classes and it dries slightly glossy.

This brush tip marker helps scale your calligraphy to a larger size. Use for a more gestural, expressive style.

This holder helps right-dominant writers with maintaining a 30° slant in writing Copperplate Calligraphy.

Highly recommended for beginners, this nib's stiffness makes it easier to control for someone who is just learning how to create thicks and thins with a pen.

For blackletter or fraktur type of calligraphy. This has the widest stroke, but makes it also the most fun. Pilot comes out with a variety of sizes if you want something smaller, as well as cartridges you can use to refill this so it's less of a dip pen.

Using this notebook for filling out daily morning pages, so I got it personalized with the words "good morning" on it.

The half-planner / half-notebook solutions of Mossery is really great for regular planning on one side, and daily capturing on the other. The covers are all refillable with other notebook combos. This one I used in 2020 has a vertical half-year planner refill (undated).

Tested this out from Mossery because the vertical planner has been a little narrow to include information, but will be shelving for a while while I use my Year Task Planner These give a full week a full spread, and weekends get the same amount of space.

Currently testing out this planner. What I love about it is the tabs that help me jump from month to month. The size on this planner is very generous, and I leave it open on my desk to double as a desk calendar.

After using Evernote for years, my friend Brigitte shared with me this tool and I transitioned all my systems here. It's such a flexible tool that can capture so many different parts of my life and work. I have a template featured in the official gallery and absolutely love to talk about building systems in Notion if you ever have any questions!

This I let myself scribble any notes or messy sketches and bring it with me EVERYWHERE. It fits in my purse and with the number of pages, it takes me about 2 months to fill.

Watercolor sketchbook, I prefer this size for travelling with watercolor paint

Works great with pen, but the watercolor washes tend to make the paper wrinkle a bit.

Just purchased this one, and is a little pricer and slightly heavier than my Lamy Safari.

My very first fountain pen. It ended up getting lost in my bags, so I didn't use it very often, but Lucas is having a lot of fun with it.

I use the Herbin ink in a sheer color here to turn this into a refillable highlighter. It's a good enough size to highlight text in most of my non-fiction reading.

My favorite pen to bring on travels, it is pretty compact and it makes it easy to take notes in a tiny notebook.

This is the ink I keep in my fountain pen, because it does not bleed when I use my highlighter or in my Year Task Planner

This ink inside of the parallel pen makes a refillable highlighter combination (watch me put it together here). It's the right sheerness of blue. It does run a little wet and causes some ink to bleed.

These textured brushes by RetroSupply Co work amazingly in digital lettering and illustrations and are very dependable for use in Procreate. You can check it out in some of my own work.

This all-in one workspace has been my most prized armor and weapon in my creative work because of how flexible it is. I've been obsessed with it when I was taking notes as a designer in June 2019. Now I'm a Notion Certified Consultant and I help others organize their work in Notion.

This monthly subscription reaches it's max value for me because I use these apps daily: Illustrator for most of my digital work and vector drawings, Photoshop for illustrating on my computer, InDesign for long text-based projects, After Effects for All of my animation (Even has Cinema 4D baked in), Lightroom for editing my photos, Media Encoder for exporting my AE files... and so on.

TLDR; this is one powerful subscription where you get a ton of value, especially if you're multi-disciplinary. If you're a student or teacher, you can register with a discount.

What I use to build my website and all of its pages. I have some experience in HTML / CSS, but I would get so frustrated when it came to developing for different screen sizes. I've been able to keep up with updating all the content because the designer backend matches the front end, and Webflow does so very elegantly.

I use this app and device to turn my iPad Pro into a second screen. This app was very helpful when I didn't have a cintiq, because it would include some of the frequent shortcuts I use in Photoshop on the side.

I purchased this camera because of it's live-streaming abilities, swivel frame, and that it's very similar to Lucas's Canon Mark IV that I was borrowing for a while. I have since started using it as a permanent web cam to take all of my client calls.

The lens I have on my Canon. When I take meetings in the evening, it does have trouble focusing a little bit, but I love that it blurs the background to keep focus on me.

The single lens I've borrowed from Lucas and use sometimes for portraits and video. But since using my Canon as my web cam, I don't use this very often.

Lucas has invested in a lot of Canon lenses over the years, I purchased this adapter. There is another version that has a control ring I was debating about, but turns out I didn't need it.

I use this teleprompter on a desktop clip stand. It's the perfect size for my 1st-gen 12.9" iPad Pro. Used in combination with Luna Display's teleprompter mode, I use it mostly for maintaining eye-contact with my students on Zoom calls.

I use this app and device to turn my iPad Pro into a second screen and a teleprompter when you use "Enable teleprompter mode" in the Preferences.

I used to use this arm to top mount my camera or my phone, so I can view all the still-lives without rotating my RP

This is a solid table-top camera that has zoom and a light built-in making live-streaming calligraphy and artwork super fast.

I use this mount to attach my phone to a tripod, a c-stand, and a boom arm for the most control of taking photos / videos with my iPhone.

I use this ring light for all of my zoom calls by pointing it at my wall and having the light bounce on my face, otherwise the windows behind me tend to turn me into a shadow.

A set of 2 lights Lucas and I invested in for shooting products. They work, but the knobs on the side take more time to adjust.

I use these inexpensive gel covers on my Light kit to make my room blue. These were cut to size in order to fit.

I use this on the Blue Boom Arm which feels a little overkill for the tiny size. What I love about this mic is that it works best when pointed at my mouth from a distance so it doesn't have to be on camera.

I was deciding between the Compass and the Rode, and decided to use this one because it has a larger reach, looks really on camera, and it literally says "Blue" on it. It currently holds my Rode VideoMicro

Inexpensive lapel mic I use for adding voice to my social content videos. It plugs into my phone.
