Ryan Gilbert works in supply chain management at a 13,000+ person company
He started a newsletter on the side to feature workspaces of creative individuals.
It's now the most beautiful newsletter on Substack.
His newsletter and a few highlights workspaces.xyz
👇
.@rjgilbert started "Workspaces" while many of us transitioned to WFH during the pandemic
He needed inspiration to design his workspace.
He realized he wasn't alone.
So he reached out to a few creatives he looks up to.
They responded with pictures.
Mikael Cho, co-founder/CEO @unsplash, works from the couch in his open-concept home.
He uses a pillow or book to prop up his MacBook.
He prefers to put his feet up while working for comfort and ergonomics.
@joeyabanks, product designer @twitter, works on design systems from his mellow space in Columbus, Ohio.
His little desk plant keeps him company.
.@katydecorah, frontend engineer @Mapbox, injects life into her Upstate New York workspace with organic touches
She uses a large plant wall to splash her space with green.
And a bamboo tray to house her keyboard.
South African designer Rob Hope, developer and maker of many things, keeps his workspace colorful.
He uses books, paintings, plants, and a bright red skateboard to do the trick.
Kate Kassab keeps her space light-hearted with Square Enix merch and Classic video game memorabilia.
And a mini fridge "to support [her] snack addiction."
Paul Stamatiou, designer @Twitter, works from his beautifully lit workspace in New York.
He keeps his Nintendo Switch on hand so he can easily fire up Mario Kart and play online with his nephew.

Devin Bramhall, ceo of @animalzco, keeps her workspace cozy with a color-coordinated collection of books.
And one of the cutest puppies of all time.
.@jacksondame, founder of @vestigory, uses splashes of primary colors to "keep in touch with the spirit of playfulness and a beginner’s mind."
Marc Edwards, founder and designer of @bjango has a "pretty boring and dark work environment"
it helps him to "keep focused, and ensure colour accuracy throughout the day.”
Chris Bakke, founder of Laskie.co, keeps things fun with an impressive whiskey collection
a regal painting of his dog
and a gorgeous shuffleboard setup.
Ariel Norling, designer at @murmur and writer of the I Know a Spot newsletter, uses her workspace as an “everything space.”
She writes her book and newsletter
Exercises
And paints.
.@arielsonline, a student @uwaterloo, brings her sun-soaked space to life with colorful artwork,
Starring Jean-Michel Basquiat's "Bird on Money"
Shirley Wu, lead designer of @Threads, really makes her tranquil space her own.
It's decorated with physical artwork that *she* made.
Ryan gets inspired by seeing how different the workspaces of people he admires look.
He hopes they'll inspire you too.
