Travis Setup
iOS Tinkerer, Piano Player & Music ComposerI am a retro gaming enthusiast, iOS tinkerer, piano player, and music composer. In my leisure time, I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and exercising. I began building my desk setup in June 2020, and I would best describe the vibe of my desk setups as retro meets functional. My inspiration and goal when building my setup are to make this space as wonderful and accommodating as possible because I have to love being in this room. The items I like the most on my setup are the Mr. Suit TKL with Linear Tangie switches, which produce some of the most pleasant sounds when typing, and the Apple Cinema Displays from 2005, which offer a wonderful amount of screen real estate along with a 16:10 aspect ratio that is nothing to scoff at.

This desk setup is built for music production, with two large speakers flanking a main monitor that shows a digital audio workstation. A second screen sits on the right for extra workspace, while a stylish keyboard and ergonomic trackball mouse rest on a patterned desk mat. There are also studio tools like an audio interface, a control pad, and a pen holder with colorful stationery that add some personality. The overall space feels creative, organized, and ready for both serious work and fun.
