This setup is built around a MacBook, a clean display position, and a dock that keeps the desk from becoming a web of adapters. The palette is bright, silver, and restrained.

Why this setup works

    Lighting notes

    Natural light does most of the work, with a soft fill light for late meetings.

    Cable management notes

    Route the dock cable behind the monitor and keep the charging brick in an under-desk tray.
