Deskfix started in school — not a side hustle brainstorm, not a business plan. A teacher took twenty minutes to properly explain posture and ergonomics, and something clicked. I was in a program that meant spending entire days at a computer, and I could already feel what bad habits were building: tightness in the wrists, tension in the lower back, the general physical toll of too much sitting with no awareness of how I was doing it.
The word "ergonomics" had been floating around. I'd heard it. But this was the first time someone actually broke down what it meant in practice — what correct chair height looks like, why your screen position matters, how the position of a keyboard over years becomes the difference between fine and not fine.
I didn't have serious injuries yet. That was the point. I was young enough that the damage hadn't set in — but aware enough to know it would, if nothing changed. So I started paying attention. I read the research. I adjusted my setup. I started noticing what actually made a difference and what was just marketing.
Deskfix is what came out of that. Most ergonomics content online is either buried in academic papers or written to sell you the most expensive chair on the market. There's very little that's practical, honest, and aimed at people who just work at a desk and want to feel better doing it. That's the gap this site is trying to fill.
