Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

I’m Gemma, and I live near London, UK, with my ten-year-old daughter and my two fur babies, Kylo & Boba.

I work remotely as a Social and Community Manager in the games industry and also do content creation and live streaming in my free time.

My content creation mainly focuses on building in The Sims 4, where I have spent thousands of hours creating all sorts of wonderful things, so I’m almost always at my desk!

A well-organised home workspace with a Samsung M7 monitor, Logitech Blue Yeti in White Mist microphone, and Creative Pebble speakers, enhanced by a LoFree 1% Misty keyboard and a Logitech StreamCam, set on a Vernal-UK standing desk with a matching monitor stand

My workspace, featured at one end of my living space, has a light and airy feel to it, despite the lack of natural light.

The intentional use of white and wood tones helps it to blend seamlessly into the surroundings.

The desk setup is inspired by Japandi design — my favourite interior design aesthetic: minimalist, light, airy, with the warmth and earthiness of wood.
