Inside Stevie Bonifield's Workspace

Stevie Bonifield shares their personal workspace setup, revealing a blend of technological flair, gaming passion, and a fondness for fantasy themes.

Workspace Location

My desk is nestled in my bedroom, a shared necessity in my apartment to keep the workday free from distractions. Moving from Pittsburgh to New Jersey has kept me busy organizing this multitasking space.

Desk and Seating Choices

I've opted for a VIVO adjustable standing desk paired with a Haworth Breck chair. These newcomers to my setup are a great fit for their flexibility and ergonomic features tailored to my height. The desk adjusts quite low, perfect for someone like me on the smaller side, with the exciting option to stand if desired. My chair is straightforward but does the trick with its adjustable seat range.

Technology in Use

My setup is unconventional, linking three computers to two monitors. Although my gaming rig is temporarily down due to RAM issues, it usually features an AMD Ryzen 7 processor and AMD Radeon graphics. Meanwhile, I've got Fedora Linux in the works on one machine, with plans to upgrade soon.

My laptops, both MacBook Airs, connect to a Viewsonic monitor, while the gaming system runs on a high-accuracy ASUS ROG monitor. The monitor swap capability allows seamless transitions between work and play.

On the peripherals front, I use a Nuphy Halo75 keyboard with a swift keystroke feel and a compact Razer Orochi V2 mouse, designed perfectly to fit my hand. A Matrix Blizzard mousepad adds a touch of personal flair beneath them.

Gaming and Audio Gear

Gaming is complemented by an Xbox controller for general use and a tactilely pleasing Razer Wolverine controller for PC gaming. Audio for my immersive experience comes via AirPods Pro for clarity and basic Sony headphones for casual listening.

For communication and recording, a Razer Seiren V3 microphone on a mounted arm serves reliably, supporting my D&D sessions and gaming chats without hassle.

Desk Enhancements and Displays

Implementing space-saving ideas, I added a dual laptop holder, keeping my laptops conveniently accessible yet out of the way, while facilitating easy switching thanks to a handy USB-C setup.

Decor and Personal Touches

The wall across my desk showcases my admiration for Dimension 20 and its magical world with an Elmville map. Alongside it, art prints and smart lighting contribute to a creatively inspired environment.

Star Wars and Collectibles

I'm a dedicated Star Wars enthusiast, evident through relics like an Obi-Wan lightsaber and collectible figures. A Lego Jedi starfighter completes my space. Collecting continues with Dungeons & Dragons figures, though available space limits expansion.

Literary and Geological Interests

Apart from gadgets, I cherish my collection of rocks and minerals, a lifelong hobby. On literary notes, current reads include fantasy epics and young adult fiction.

My e-reader, a prized Kobo Clara, sits on my desk, providing digital alternatives as my physical library grows.
