The tools on my desk
Exactly what I use every day to run ads, build Shopify stores, and record courses — from my one-desk setup in the Philippines. Nothing here is theory; it's what's plugged in right now.

Mac & Display
2 itemsApple Mac Mini M4
My main machine for running ads, building Shopify stores, and editing content. Small, quiet, and it never complains when I open twenty Chrome tabs of Ads Manager.
LG UltraFine UHD 4K Monitor
One big 4K panel so I can keep Ads Manager, Shopify, and GA4 side by side without squinting. Colour is honest, which matters when I'm reviewing creative.
Desk Peripherals
4 itemsLogitech Mouse & Keyboard
Wireless, low-profile, and the batteries last forever. Comfortable enough for 8-hour days inside spreadsheets and campaign builds.
Logitech Webcam
Clean 1080p for strategy calls and course recordings. Much better than the built-in cam, and it just works on macOS.
Logitech Speaker
Desk speaker for reviewing ad creatives and music while I work. Simple, loud enough, no fiddling.
Apple EarPods
My go-to for calls. Lightweight, wired (no charging, no dropouts), and the mic is surprisingly good for Zoom and Google Meet.
Podcast & Audio
3 itemsElgato Wave 3 Microphone
Broadcast-quality USB mic for course recordings and client videos. Built-in mixing software so I don't need a separate interface.
Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP
Low-profile mic arm so the Wave 3 sits under my monitor, not in front of my face. Keeps the shot clean on camera.
Elgato Multi Mount
Modular mounting kit for the webcam, light, and anything else that needs to sit above the desk. Clean setup, no clutter.
