I design, build and improve physical products, spaces and systems. My work combines engineering, craftsmanship and technology, allowing me to take projects from an initial idea through design, fabrication and final installation.
Product Design
I enjoy solving real-world problems through thoughtful design, balancing functionality, aesthetics and manufacturability.
Concept Development | CAD Design | Rapid Prototyping | Mechanical Design | Design for Manufacture | Systems Integration | Problem Solving | User-Centred Design
Materials
I select materials based on function, load, environment and manufacturability, not just availability or convention.
Leather | Plastic | Fabric | Hardwoods | Softwoods | Plywood | MDF | OSB | Aluminium Extrusion | Mild Steel | Stainless Steel | Acrylic | Polycarbonate | PVC | HDPE | Composites | Foam Board | Adhesives & Sealants
Workshop & Fabrication
I’m equally comfortable working with timber, metal, plastics and modern manufacturing techniques, selecting the right material and process for each project. I’m experienced using a broad range of workshop equipment and precision tools to produce accurate, high-quality work.
Welding | Sewing | Cabinetry | Furniture | Joinery | Timber Framing | Sheet Materials | Aluminium Fabrication | Steel Fabrication | Plastic Fabrication | Mechanical Assembly | Custom Brackets | Workshop Jigs
Digital Manufacturing
I use digital fabrication to rapidly develop ideas and manufacture bespoke components.
3D Printing | Laser Cutting | CNC-Ready Design | CAD Modelling | Prototype Development | Custom Parts
Electrical & Electronics
I design and build low-voltage electrical systems, combining traditional wiring with modern connected technologies.
Solar Systems | Battery Systems | Vehicle Electrics | Power Distribution | Diagnostics | IoT Devices | Sensors | Monitoring Systems | Automation
Software & Technology
My software background allows me to bridge the gap between physical products and digital systems.
AI Integration | APIs | Automation | JSON | Embedded Systems | System Architecture | Product Thinking
Workshop Skills
I’m experienced using a broad range of workshop equipment and precision tools to produce accurate, high-quality work.
Mitre Saw | Track Saw | Circular Saw | Router | Drill Press | Hand & Pillar Drills | Impact Driver | Angle Grinder | Oscillating Multi-tool | Sanders | Heat Gun | Rotary Tools | Calipers | Squares | Precision Measuring
Engineering Mindset
Every project is approached with longevity and practicality in mind. I naturally think about how something will be manufactured, assembled, maintained, and improved over time.
Structural Design | Material Selection | Weight Optimisation | Reliability | Serviceability | Cost Efficiency | Safety | Failure Analysis | Continuous Improvement
Typical Projects
The projects I enjoy are varied but share a common theme: solving practical problems through thoughtful design and skilled making.
