Oby Nwabuzor is the founder of Envision Growth, a Milwaukee-based development group focused on urban regeneration. Nwabuzor relies on several tech tools to increase her efficiency throughout the day.
Blackweb
“I use a variety of technological devices throughout the day and, with that, they barely make it to noon. Blackweb is a portable battery pack for those, like me, who are heavy users of smartphones, tablets and iPads. With Blackweb, your devices will stay powered throughout the day.”
LaCie
“Using an external drive as your main drive can help save the wear and tear on your actual internal drive. So, yes, an external drive actually helps your computer last longer. Also, if you are an Apple user like me, an external drive can help with improved performance for Macs with slower internal drives.”
Wave
“This accounting software has a free, ad-supported version, but you may come across some drawbacks. Nonetheless, if you want to budget around an accounting software, Wave comes free for companies with fewer than 10 employees. The platform handles invoicing, tracking of expenses, receipt scanning and more.”
MKE Park
“We are living in a fast-paced society where mobility is essential and the era of carrying change seems to be at its end with the use of debit/credit cards and mobile wallets. MKE Park allows us to pay meter parking directly from a smartphone. Other cities are also offering this. While there is a small added fee, I believe the convenience is well worth it. Say goodbye to carrying tons of change.”
