As Shift’s Chief Nomad Officer, Sherita Janielle is always moving—between countries, client projects, and creative pursuits. That pace requires more than discipline, it requires structure.

Traditional browsers left her juggling cluttered tabs and scattered apps. With Shift, she designed a layout that brings clarity to the chaos, creating a digital space that flows the way she does.

“My life is layered. I run a business, I travel, I create, I date—and I still make time to enjoy where I am.”

Sherita’s setup at a glance

  • Workspaces: Work, Productivity, Business, Travel/Personal
  • Apps: Gmail, Notion, Slack, financial dashboards, booking tools
  • Template: Minimal layout, customized into her Digital Nomad command center
  • Favorite detail: The vertical command panel that keeps her layered life organized

From chaos to clarity

For years, Sherita wrestled with the same problem most nomads face: tab chaos. Traditional browsers piled everything together, leaving her work, travel, and personal life tangled in one overwhelming view.

Shift gave her the chance to start fresh. With Shift’s drag and drop capabilities, she reshaped her browser into a layout that feels intentional instead of reactive.

“The standard browser setup just wasn’t built for a life like mine.”

The digital nomad layout

Sherita’s Shift setup is organized like a map of her life. On one side, a vertical panel keeps her most important categories—work, productivity, business, travel/personal—separate but within reach. It’s a visual reminder that everything has its lane, which means nothing collides.

She also stripped back her top bar to just a handful of tabs. The clean slate lets her begin each session with focus, instead of picking through digital clutter. And with Dark Mode on, her screen feels calm and minimal whether she’s in a coworking hub in Lisbon or a café in Bali.

“It’s clean. It’s focused. And honestly? It’s a little sexy.”

Why it works

The real power of Sherita’s setup is the way it supports her workflow. Clear lanes reduce decision fatigue. Vertical grouping removes friction. And the structure helps her shift gears quickly when moving from client projects to travel planning.

“I didn’t take the traditional path. And I don’t use traditional tools. You don’t have to either.”

For Sherita, the browser is more than a container for tabs and apps. It’s a command center that gives her control over a layered, mobile lifestyle.
