About
I'm an Industrial Designer who is always looking for the next challenge. My skills and interests range from woodworking to 3D modelling and everything in between. I've found for the best results for any project, the key is to simply ask "why?" and design from the ground up, challenging expectations as you go.
Please have a look at my portfolio for examples of some of the work I've done, and please contact me if I might help your own project along! -
