title: Imagine people who inspire you. Would you like to know the tools they use?

  Sometimes I see people sharing their Twitter, writing, and designing stacks. They usually get a like from me. I find it interesting and helpful to hear about what tools other creators are using and how they combine them.

<p>My father has many toolboxes. When I was a kid, he wouldn’t allow me to play with his tools for safety reasons. So, when he would fix something, I would get excited to help because I could discover what curious artifacts were inside his different toolboxes.</p>

<p>Sometimes I see people sharing their Twitter, writing, and designing stacks. They usually get a like from me. <mark>I find it interesting and helpful to hear about what tools other creators use and how they combine them.</mark></p>

<p>So here’s a question for you: <mark>would you share your [writing, designing, reading...] tools to know what’s inside of other people’s toolboxes?</mark></p>

<p>I would.</p>

<p><mark>To get it started, here are some tools I use to design a logo for a new project:</mark></p>

<ul>
  <li>Pen &amp; paper for initial sketches</li>
  <li>Figma for collecting references and testing concepts on interface contexts (most of my projects nowadays are web/mobile)</li>
  <li>Rhino3D for vectors (has better precision than most vector apps and unique tools to experiment with perspectives, bends, twists, generative patterns, etc.)</li>
  <li>Affinity Designer or Figma for final touches and creating production files</li>
</ul>

<p>What tools are you using for writing, discovering communities, having ideas…</p>
