3 Creators share their
holiday home must-haves

From WFH to DIY, streamline your winter season with Galaxy and SmartThings.

The lead-up to the holidays can be full of hustle. Work, errands and parties fill calendars as the countdown to the new year begins. Hopefully, all this hard work comes with a heaping serving of home time — whether relaxing alone or getting festive with family and friends. We asked three digital creators how they use technology like Galaxy devices and the SmartThings app to balance their busy schedules with getting cozy on the couch.

When just one monitor isn’t enough, Deja multiplies her multitasking with split screen and Microsoft 365 integration on Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. “Drag and drop, and right click just like on your PC,” she says. “It's great for bringing work you did on the go (homework on subway, notes in class, video concept in a coffee shop) home to polish.”
