Great web app to help you build out semantic colors for use in different web apps while still staying on brand.

The PARA Method
Forte Labs

This has fundamentally changed my life for the better once I started to use it (and I also apply it to how I organize my design projects).

Deeply Graphic Design Cast
Deeply Graphic Design Cast

The amount of content within this single podcast is one of the anchors that allowed me to feel confident in running my own business. So many episodes on various topics within the creative industry including trends etc. You should definitely give a listen while you're grinding away at that logo.

Gusto

This has been a lifesaver as a business owner with employees. You can run payroll, keep track of all your legal forms and documents, and basically have an HR department without feeling overwhelmed. I can't recommend it enough if you run your own biz.

The best mockups in one place. Seriously, they make your work look so damn good. My favorite part of putting together my pitch decks is mock up day. Do yourself a favor and just browse their collection. Worth the price.

Notion

The perfect note taker. I got tired of having some limited functionality of the Apple notes app, and Notion is a beast of a tool for keeping organized ideas. I love being able to have layers to my notes. You can have subfolders with specific ideas and just keep things tidy within the chaos of your creative mind. Plus emojis!

Astute Graphics
Astute Graphics

All the things you wish Illustrator could do you'll probably discover Astute Graphics has figured it out. This subscription gets you several plugins like an upgraded pen tool, auto save (so you never lose your work to a crash), mirroring design, custom stipplism, and way more. Check out their videos and you'll see all the possibilities.

Razer Naga Trinity Mouse

You know all those keyboard hotkeys that are hard to keep track of? What if you could have over 20 of them programmed to all your apps and just had to use your thumb to access all of them? Well, dreams do come true! Pair this gaming mouse with the program 'Steermouse' (for Macs) and you'll be able to program different shortcuts for every app, browser, program on your computer seamlessly. It'll blow your mind.

RM Neue
CoType Foundry

This is my top go-to font for body, headlines, anything I can think of. It's a heavy hitter for modern design and is perfect for logos and campaigns. CoType Foundry in general are lovely, so I highly recommend checking out their selection of fonts.
