A stone in the sand.
Most nights, I unwind with a video game. And without fail, my phone would run low right when I wanted a tutorial up beside me. A MagSafe charger took care of the cable, but I still had nowhere to prop it up, and honestly, none of the stands I found felt like something I’d want on my desk.
I’ve always loved Zen gardens, the way one little stone sits in a circle of raked sand. One day, brainstorming with Tristan, it clicked: the charger could be the stone, and the stand could carry the waves around it. Now my phone has a cozy little home of its own. When I set it down there, it’s my cue to let go of it for a bit and just unwind.
