💎 Laptop or Desktop Computer. Definitely invest in a great computer. Almost every designer uses an Apple computer because of how well they operate with Adobe programs.

💎 Adobe Creative Cloud. Get the monthly subscription, it’s worth every penny. You have access to all Adobe programs! You even get fonts!

💎 Tablet. Either a Wacom tablet or an iPad Pro. I have a Wacom tablet and recently got an iPad Pro! They are great for lettering if you’re into that!

💎 External Hard Drive. This one is important! Your computer won’t have the capacity to save every project you have created. Anything over 1TB will work!

💎 Sketch Book. It’s great practice to draw out ideas first before you start designing on a computer.

💎 Blue Light Blocking Glasses. These will help your eyes so much if you’re staring at a computer all day every day.

💎 Planner. It’s important to be organized with your schedule. Buying one that will help you set goals is recommended!

💎 Phone Holder. If you want to start recording videos of yourself designing for a behind the scenes shot, this holder is perfect! I got mine on Amazon for $10!

💎 Notebooks. I have a notebook for client notes, Instagram and many more.

💎 Writing Utensils. I use a variety of pens, markers and pencils. I recommend a Paper Mate mechanical pencil, Micron pens and Tombow brush markers!
