I just checked, Samuel
Such a great work and nice presentation!
How much does it actually cost to be a designer? 👀
I did the math on my yearly essentials:
🎨 Adobe — $172/year
🌐 Internet — $25/month
🤖 Claude — $200/year
☁️ Google Drive — $50/year
🍎 Apple storage — $9.99/month
✨ Contra — $29/month
Typography, mockups and other assets are project-dependent, so I only buy them when needed.
I also use ChatGPT, Figma and Notion without paid subscriptions.
That puts my basic yearly setup at around $843.
And that's before the coffee. ☕️
What does your designer setup cost you?
