My Gear

I use a 2016 MacBook Pro 15-inch (running macOS Catalina) and an iPad Pro 10.5-inch for my daily work, shuffling between Google Docs, Trello, and Slack, along with various other Mac and iOS apps. I use an iPhone Xs Max as my daily smartphone and an Apple Watch Series 3. I also have an older Apple PowerBook for both nostalgia and distraction-free writing. I love using VR gear like my Oculus Quest 2 to explore the tech while I play games, watch movies, and even work in VR environments.

Sascha received a bachelor’s degree in English from Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and his Master of Science at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City.
