About

After graduating with honours with a Bachelor of Industrial Design from Newcastle University, I worked in New Zealand on contract with Weta Digital, doing research, design and modeling for the Wingnut Wings project. Here, I was involved with the design, modeling and production of injection molded 1:32 scale plastic model kits of WW1 aircraft.

I am currently working on my own projects, including several scale model kits which are ready for release. I am also available for contract work - eureka.man.designs@gmail.com
