Go Pro Hero 4 Silver: We have been really pushing lately to document our process and show the world. Every time I go into the mill I take my camera just in case something cool happens.” - Brian French

“This is such a lame, business oriented answer, but I’m a huge fan of the Scanner Pro App. I can get easy, high-res scans of my receipts and sketches on my phone and without a flatbed. Saves so much time, especially on the road.” - Danielle Evans

3. Jen Mussari, Lettering Artist + Illustrator

“I have lots of tools that I consider a necessity to my freelance practice! But my new favorite has to be Cushion App, an up-and-coming organizational tool for projects and income. It’s still in Beta, but it’s already really helped me immensely with overall focus.” - Jen Mussari

"For me, it is all about pen/pencil and paper. I always have a Field Notes and a pen on me for sketching and note taking. This is where I start every project, whether it is a lettering piece or a website. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention Adobe Illustrator. I wouldn’t be able to bring those notes and sketches to life if not for Illustrator.” - Bob Ewing

For me, Sublime Text has been the application for coding. The package manager adds so much more functionality and flexibility that basically allows you to mold Sublime to your needs. I also enjoy working with Dash to download different documentations locally. I find it helpful especially when traveling and needing to code on a plane or somewhere with shady WiFi.” - Rob Davarnia
