Peeping into 88 Designer’s Workstations in the Design Community

Peeping into 88 Designer's Workstations in the Design Community

We have seen lots of beautiful websites, created by many talented web designers from around the world. And I bet many of us are curious to know how their workstations look like or what kind of computers they use. Web designers spend most of their time in front of their computers, and they will make their workstations as comfortable as possible, based on their styles and needs.

To abate everyone’s curiosity, we are going to take a peek at some workstations of web designers from around the world. Every picture was sent and shared personally by each individual web designer and we hope that the pictures of their workstations will inspire you to give your own workstation at home a makeover as well.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…
