Every business needs technology and supplies to successfully run smoothly and efficiently. These are the tools I’ve come to rely on and recommend, based on first-hand, in-the-trenches experience.

Technology
I’ve used several web hosts over the years. I’ve been the happiest with Namecheap and have used them the longest. I have had to contact support on occasion to help me troubleshoot an issue, and they have responded efficiently with quick resolution.
Dropbox has been my go-to file sharing software since I was introduced to it in 2008 while freelancing graphic design. It easily integrates with other programs, so it is quick. I use both the desktop and mobile version.
I was a graphic designer using the Adobe Suite, Inkscape, and Affinity software before I found Canva. I have found that I can work faster with most projects using Canva. I often create documents, social media assets, and templates for my clients using Canva.

71″ Phone Tripod & Selfie Stick, All in One Extendable Cell Phone Tripod with Wireless Remote
I’ve never owned a selfie stick. This has been a game changer. It’s easy to extend and lightweight. The remote paired quickly with my iPhone without having to take extra steps.
I’ve tried a few different headphones before I landed with these. They are my favorite of them all. They are super comfortable, and have a transparency mode, so I can either cancel sound, or be able to hear the sounds in my room (like hearing my own voice when I talk on Zoom).
Tempo 30 Wireless Earbuds for Small Ears with Premium Sound
These cute little earbuds have been my favorite for the last few years. They are comfortable, have great sounds, and block out quite a bit of background noise. I accidentally washed them and one bud still works!
