Hey, Lizz! Tell us a bit about yourself

Hello! My name is Lizz, I’m a lawyer by day and a content creator by night.

I currently live in San Diego, California with my partner and two cats. I am a newly admitted lawyer practising employment and personal injury law.

Due to the pandemic, I started my career as an attorney working from home. So when I began to plan my work from home setup, I knew it was important to create a productive space I would look forward to being in every day.

Luckily, I have been a fan of all-things tech since I was a kid, so creating a WFH island was an exciting task for me.

The black wall is a prominent feature of Lizz's room — it makes her setup pop out. Depending on the mood, Lizz uses her laptop as a second monitor or just the Samsung monitor on its own

Besides working from home, I enjoy riding my bike to the beach, attending spin classes, and discovering new music. If I’m not working or working out, I’m probably scrolling through Spotify to find some new tunes.

I am also a huge fan of all things Apple. Surprising, right? I have always enjoyed watching Apple’s keynote events where they announce new products. There’s just something special about watching the event and being excited to see new technology!

Since I am still a fairly new content creator, I have been focused on my Instagram page. However, I hope to focus on a YouTube channel in the future.

If you’re reading this and have any good tips for an aspiring YouTube creator, please reach out to me! I’m always happy to meet new people and get new ideas or tips for content creation.

My WFH setup is minimal yet functional.

Like I previously mentioned, when the pandemic hit, I was forced to start my career working from home. I spent hours researching how to create a good workspace.

Even after all of my research, the only thing that helped to create my perfect workspace was trial and error.
