Meet Christina, a Canadian content creator within the setup, gaming, and tech space, who goes by the name astronuggie!
Her journey in the digital realm originally began as a self-taught web and graphic designer at the age of 12, creating fansites for her favorite games like The Sims and Habbo Hotel, which she later went to school for and became a full-time corporate graphic designer. What started off as casually sharing photos of her setup-building journey during Covid, quickly evolved into making a bold move in 2023 where she decided to trade her professional design tools for gaming peripherals and a DSLR camera, and embark in full-time content creation!
Astronuggie loves all things tech, gaming, and design, and is passionate about creating a safe and authentic community for like-minded individuals. She is known for her cozy but clean setup filled with perfected RGB lighting, and an all-white aesthetic with pops of warm wood tones, purples, pinks, and blues. Her setup showcases the perfect blend of high-tech gadgets and a warm, inviting atmosphere, creating a space where viewers feel like they’re stepping into a digital home for inspiration.
Astronuggie shares her setup and tidbits of her life online in hopes of inspiring others to build the office space of their dreams too, and to show that computer setups don’t have to be boring and bland anymore - no matter your hobbies or occupation. With her Setup Diaries series on YouTube, she allows viewers to discover that desk spaces can be completely customized just as much as any other part of your life, home, and even cubicle! In a world where pixels often dominate, she reminds viewers that behind the screens, there’s a community waiting to connect, game, and tech together.
Some of her favourite games include Baldur’s Gate 3, World of Warcraft, Stardew Valley, and The Sims. She enjoys PC and keyboard building, reading fantasy novels, designing and drawing on her iPad, and spending time with her family and friends.
