Cassidy’s Desk
I work 100% remotely—mostly from my home. As such, I’ve built myself a nice little workspace centered around a nice big motorized sit/stand desk.
It’s gone through some revisions due to rearranging our home and moving; here is what currently makes it up, as well as a historical log of past iterations.

- 2× IKEA cable management baskets (underneath)
- Power strip with long cord, attached to desk with 3M Command Velcro to keep only one cord going from desk to wall
