    Name: Jeorge Paolo Jorge

    Location: The Philippines

    Hey, Jeorge! Tell us a bit about yourself

    Hi, my name is Jeorge. I’m a designer, photographer, and content creator based in the Philippines.

    I found my love for design in high school and I do still have the same passion for it.

    I was fortunate enough to be working as a designer for a startup here in the Philippines. It’s actually my first job and I’m still with the same company for I think seven years now.

    Besides having my full-time job, I do freelance on the side if I have some extra time.

    I’m also trying to expand my skills by having different creative outlets. I’ve taught myself the basics of photography and filmmaking through various internet resources like YouTube and SkillShare.

    And with that, I developed a love for content creation, hence the birth of my Instagram page and YouTube channel.

    Jeorge is an aspiring YouTuber with a passion for creativity. In his channel, Jeorge covers a bunch of topics ranging from tech, desk setups, everyday carry to self-help tips, productivity and minimalism

    I’ve been trying to grow both channels for quite some time now and luckily, there are bits of engagement here and there, plus the community was nice enough to welcome me and introduce me to the vast world behind this niche that I am into.

    Being a content creator has opened a lot of new doors for me. I get to work with brands, meet striking people, I even scored this interview with you guys at Maker Stations!

    Would you believe that this is my first desk setup? Gonna give you a quick back story on this one.

    Growing up I haven’t had a chance to set up one for myself cause I don’t want it to be a burden for my family.

    A small computer table with a functioning PC was good enough for me to do my homework and layouts on Photoshop 7.0, which was my jam back in the day.

    By the time I was in college, I shared a laptop with my brother so I worked pretty much anywhere.

    With that in mind, I thought a dedicated setup was unnecessary. Slowly, I came to believe that working on the go with a laptop or iPad is the way to go since you can work when and where you want.

    Needless to say, I kind of took it for granted and hadn’t realised the true benefits of having a proper setup until we were all stuck at home because of the pandemic.

    It was a rough time. We were all forced to shift to a work from home setup, and I got no desk at all!

    You know what, I’ll even show you the first two makeshift desks I made just to get stuff done. Feel free to laugh at me for it but this is an exclusive look.

    Man, it was such a mess!

    Both temporary working desks weren’t a great fit for Jeorge in the long term, and they prompted him to come up with a brand new desk setup

    So, given that situation, it sparked the idea to finally invest in some good items, tools and stuff to be able to build a nice working desk setup for me.

    As you get more involved in this hobby and invest in your love of desks and workspaces, your expenses are more likely to snowball. Until you get to the point where you feel like you already are on the “end game” of your setup.

    I do feel like I’ve reached it already, and that’s certainly my setup’s end game... for now? LOL.
