Jennifer Ash, Accessories Editor

"I love the idea of infusing a workspace with pops of color, in my case that's pink with a few splashes of print. My Frends headphones are essential when I need to tune out my surroundings and focus on a demanding project."

Christian David, Art Director

“My desk has an accidental cat-and-divas theme thanks to my Beyoncé chocolate bar, Nicki Minaj perfume duo (I thought the bottle shapes were funny) and my never-ending supply of feline-themed gifts from coworkers and friends. Whenever someone sees anything with a cat on it, it somehow ends up on my desk. But don’t get me wrong, I love it!"

Stephanie Montes, Beauty Editor

"You can never go wrong with a clean white base and gold accents. I always make sure to have candles around––a great scent is an easy way to disconnect and take a breather when things get stressful. And the pretty beauty products in a glass vase serve as constant inspiration."

Jordan Silver, Marketing Manager

"A lot of what I do involves looking at analytics and Excel spreadsheets so I try to keep my space fun and vibrant to keep me inspired when it comes time to think of things in a creative way."

Kate Wolfson, Freelance Living Editor

"The most important thing about my workspace is definitely functionality, with a bit of whimsy thrown in for good measure. This means stocking my desk with plenty of pretty stationery items like journals and notebooks and at least 2 different types of candy to keep my sugar levels up."
