Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

My name is Joe, I’m an ER physician in the heart of Florida, USA.

I’ve always had a long-standing fascination with unique desk/workstation setups.

So, when I bought a new home, I finally dedicated time and effort to plan out my ideal home office.

I designed it to boost my productivity and provide a space where I could relax and enjoy my other two passions — music and photography.

In medical school, I spent the majority of my time in front of a computer studying.

Unfortunately, much of my job responsibilities now also include the same and I often have to bring work home, work on large Excel sheets, be on web meetings, etc.

This desk setup allows me to do all of the above and is modular enough to change on the fly.

Throughout college and medical school, I also continued DJ-ing for bars, parties, weddings, etc., which also kept me sane.

While I no longer do that, I did keep some DJ essentials as I still tinker around and enjoy manipulating music, again as an outlet.

I wanted to implement these into the room setup in a way that showcased my past but also added in space that still was usable.

Despite the computer and monitor setup, I don’t really game, code, make videos often, etc.

The computer monitor may seem like overkill, but with the aid of certain programs, it enhances my productivity, especially in handling daily tasks and managing emails.

But again, I like to dabble in everything, and having the ability to do so and change things on the fly is perhaps the best part of this setup.

After finally building my dream setup, I’m always looking to change/improve aspects of it and love the supportive and inspirational community out there who share similar interests despite coming from very different walks of life.

Take us through your setup

The main setup has been inspired by multiple sit/stand desk setups in the past.

Originally I was going to go with an IKEA countertop, ALEX drawers — the usual combination.

However, IKEA was two hours away from me, shipping was expensive, and to be honest, I wanted something a bit more unique.
