Mac

Christmas 2017- I asked for a Mac for christmas from my husband’s family. I put it out there (so scary) that I was looking to take on freelance clients outside of my 9-5 , which was terrifying to say out loud. But I did and they gave me one!! This literally changed my life. If gave me the one tool necessary to take on clients outside of my Job. My next purchase was the adobe creative cloud that I pay for monthly (with this you get access to alllll adobe cc programs. Photoshop, illustrator, Indesign, premier…. you name it. Best decisions I ever made. 100% worth the investment.

Top apps with my Mac that I use daily

Photoshop

For all branding and most graphic design, IG themes + etsy orders!

Lightroom

For all photography!

Illustrator

for graphic tee vectors and some wedding stuff!

And final logo designs.

IPad Pro + Apple Pencil

Top apps that I use daily

OVER

I love using the mask tool for collages! I love to collage on there and it is so great for design on the go. Especially for creative instagram stories and creating custom PNGs

Procreate

For all my lettering!

Blacklist studio has my favorite brushes! I did the lettering from the first image in this post with those brushes!

I also love to sketch and trace on procreate! Hoping to do a procreate tutorial soon on YouTube!

The only thing that is not great about the iPad Pro is you can’t get adobe products on it at the moment. So if you need to use like photoshop but you wanna work at a coffee shop… it’s a no go. So depressing. Hoping there will be an update soon on the adobe end to fix this
