Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

Hello, my name is Rosdi, and I’m a Chartered Accountant based in Selangor, Malaysia, working remotely for a multinational IT company.

My role involves handling and managing the accounting aspects of projects for the IT services provided by the company to some of the world’s largest companies.

I’m also a husband and father to two beautiful daughters.

In my free time, I’m a hobbyist content creator, sharing my desk setup journey and reviewing products, ranging from tech to lifestyle items, primarily on Instagram and occasionally on TikTok and Threads.

My desk setup journey began in November 2019, but it wasn’t until December 2020 that I started sharing my setup after moving into my current house.

Since then, content creation has been rewarding, allowing me to move my desk to a spare room, transform it into my office/studio, and upgrade my setup to what it is today.

It has also connected me with many other creators who share the same interests, enabling me to exchange knowledge and work with some of my favourite brands.

Take us through your setup

I want my desk setup to reflect my personal style and taste for modern minimalism while maintaining simplicity and functionality.

I tend to lean towards basic, neutral colours — mainly black, wood, and white/grey.

I’m also selective about the items I keep on my desk; everything serves a purpose and is within easy reach.

I apply the same mindset to my office/studio, where I have separate areas for work, lounging, storage, and content creation.

Unlike my desk, however, my office/studio is dominated by white and grey furniture.

This is because I want my desk to be the focal point of the space.

This setup was by no means an overnight success.

Before I even had a desk, I worked on an ironing board for several months, which I still keep as a reminder of how far I’ve come.

I started with a basic IKEA desk and dining chair, and it took me four years to reach the current setup.
