Design apps and technology I use
I have a 2024 Mac Mini M4 running the latest version of macOS. Apps I find indispensable to my work include:
- The Affinity Suite, specifically Affinity Publisher
- Pixelmator Pro for image editing
- Obsidian for keeping notes
- A Notion database for record keeping
Although I prefer these applications above, I have experience in these programs as well:
- Scribus, a free and open source page layout app I wholeheartedly recommend.
- The Adobe Creative Cloud, specifically Adobe InDesign, which is not worth the subscription for my use case.
- QuarkXPress
In the past I've designed all sorts of things using these computers:
- A 2021 MacBook Pro M1
- A 2016 MacBook Pro
- A 2009 MacBook Pro
- A 2005-era Toshiba laptop running Windows 7
- A 1999-era desktop computer running Windows 2000 and Windows XP
