In their own words
I design my workspace around how I actually work and create every day. For beginners, I’d say focus less on buying more gear and more on building around your workflow. Start with a solid foundation (desk + chair), dial in lighting, and prioritize cable management early, it makes everything feel more intentional. I also think your space should reflect who you are. For me, that’s warm wood tones, soft lighting, and a clean layout that supports long creative sessions. A great setup isn’t about aesthetics alone, it should improve how you think, focus, and execute.

Observation notes
Josh Eslami built his Colorado home studio around one principle: the space should serve the work, not the other way around. Warm hardwood, soft ambient glow, and a 49" QD-OLED canvas — every element earned its place by supporting long creative and professional sessions.
His advice for anyone starting out: nail the foundation before buying more gear. Desk and chair first, then lighting, then cable management — 'a great setup isn't about aesthetics alone, it should improve how you think, focus, and execute.'
