With two desks — one for work and one for personal projects — Nathan’s office is well-equipped for a variety of tasks. His main work desk features an Xdesk Terra, which he describes as being the Wirecutter standing desk pick a decade ago. While the other desk is a hand-cranked Ikea Bekant, utilized for miscellaneous projects and day-to-day organization.
The meticulous organization extends to Nathan’s tech setup, with a 2020 M1 MacBook Air, a custom-built Windows 11 PC, and a 32-inch BenQ 4K monitor at the centerpiece of his workspace.

Of course, Nathan’s love for keyboards stands out, with several mechanical keyboards boasting various modifications and customizations. From the Leopold FC660C with Topre switches to a modded 1993 IBM Model M keyboard, his collection illustrates his appreciation for the finer details of technology.
Beyond his tech setup, Nathan’s office is adorned with an array of artwork, including a painting by his sister and postcards from a friend. He also has a few intriguing gadgets such as a Flipper Zero and a Beepy, reflecting his interest in computer engineering.
Lastly, a hint of the personal touch is visible in his workspace with a 1950s typewriter inherited from his wife’s grandparents and the numerous Field Notes notebooks scattered around, reflecting his penchant for vintage tools and analog methods.
Nathan’s workspace provides a glimpse of his personality and his dedication to his craft. It’s clear that he has carefully curated an environment that inspires creativity, productivity, and an appreciation for the technology that surrounds him.
