    Name: Nicolas Majou

    Location: Hamburg, Germany

    Occupation: Multiple jobs

    Room size: 14 m² (151 ft²)

    Cost of the setup: ~$1K without devices (MacBook Pro M1, iPad Pro 12.9 2018, Apple Thunderbolt Display, etc.)

    Social media: Instagram

    Hey, Nicolas! Tell us a bit about yourself

    Hello, everyone! How do I introduce myself? Well, first of all, I’m a happy 42-year-old dad of two beautiful princesses. Currently, I work as a children’s educator at a French school in Hamburg.

    I have been a professional breakdancer for more than twenty years, touring around the world and performing in theatres and operas.

    I still teach people how to dance quite a bit and perform occasionally, but much less than I used to. The whole pandemic situation forced me to change my direction and reinvent myself.

    I resumed my online studies in digital marketing and design. I also started creating content and shooting tech photography for brands on Instagram.

    Initially, I just liked the idea of getting devices and other products for free instead of paying for them. However, I now realise the potential here is much greater.

    My Instagram has turned into a space where I am free to create whatever I wish.

    Moreover, I have the opportunity to share my passion for hi-tech with thousands of people around the world, not only with my closest friends (who are sometimes genuinely bored by it, haha!).

    Instagram also gave me a chance to connect with other amazing creators. I’m just in awe of that community.

    The last eight months have brought me some of the most like-minded people of my life. Big shout-out to my #teamdarktek, by the way!

    It all started with me scrolling through miles of Instagram feed and watching bloggers on YouTube live out their passion for tech.

    It then occurred to me that I have been doing the exact same thing for years, but not sharing it on the web.

    Then I thought, why keep this to myself?

    I am passionate enough to share it, too! It soon became an addiction (in a good way). I’ve been posting every day for a month.

    Collaborations with brands also give me a lot of creative juice, and I find them so fun and bracing!

    Can you describe your home setup?

    Item Model
    Monitor 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display
    Laptop 2020 13″ MacBook Pro M1
    Tablet iPad Pro, Apple Pencil
    Speaker Edifier
    Wooden accessories Oakywood
    Desk IKEA

    It seems like I have always had some sort of desk setup.

    From an early age, I remember having a desk devoted to my schoolwork, which taught me how to organise a space where I can concentrate.

    When I lived alone in my first apartment, I remember having a desk with a huge monitor, a tower PC, and a 56 kbit/s Internet connection. The good old times when watching a five-minute video on YouTube would have been an hour-long struggle.

    I would describe my current workstation as a mix between aesthetics and workflow efficiency.

    I don’t have a dedicated room for the setup. My desk is located in our bedroom, where I can work and “hide” during the day because my kids are running around all over the place.
