Top 5 Tools I Use Daily 🧰
1️⃣ A Notepad + Pen — My Analog Brain
Before I ever open a computer, I jot ideas down on paper.
Sketching out a quick layout, outlining a video, or brainstorming a project helps me slow down and think clearly.
💡 Pro tip: Keep a small notepad nearby during creative work — sometimes the best ideas hit when you’re not staring at a screen. Also, by keeping it small, it forces me to focus on what's most important.
2️⃣ Adobe Creative Cloud — My Creative Playground
Photoshop and Illustrator are still the backbone of my creative process.
I design, edit, and package all my visuals here — from brand projects to social content.
💡 Pro tip: Use Creative Cloud Libraries to keep your brand colors, fonts, and assets synced across apps.
3️⃣ ScreenFlow / Ecamm Live / Loom — My Content Creation Trio
These are my go-to tools for recording tutorials, courses, and client walkthroughs.
  • ScreenFlow for high-quality screen and camera capture.
  • Ecamm Live for multi-cam setups, live sessions, and podcasts.
  • Loom for quick client feedback videos or team updates.
💡 Pro tip: Record in both horizontal and vertical formats when possible so you can repurpose easily for YouTube, TikTok, or Skool.
4️⃣ Dropbox — My File Vault
Every finished project, exported video, and client delivery lives here.
Dropbox keeps things secure, organized, and synced across all my devices — whether I’m at the office or traveling.
💡 Pro tip: Use “Smart Sync” to keep older files in the cloud but still searchable locally. This helps keep your computer running smoothly without filling up your hard drive.
5️⃣ ChatGPT — My Creative Assistant
From brainstorming ideas to drafting scripts (like this one 😉), this tool helps me move faster and think clearer. It’s part writing partner, part creative collaborator.
