I hold a BA in Industrial Design, Cert in CAD/CAM and have been working in the Engineering Field for over 12 years. During this I have acquired extensive experience in multiple 2D/3D platforms including Autocad, Solidworks, Pro-E, CadKey, Rhino and 3DS Max, Inventor. My specialty is in tooling, fixture and equipment design with focus on high precision parts utilizing GD&T. Other services I offer include Industrial and product design.
Over the years I've worked very closely with Engineers, managers, and private clients to bring a vast array of ideas to life. Projects have ranged from one-off precision centrifugal test fixtures to simple parts designed for mass production. More recently I have been designing and fabricating custom props for event staging/live performance. In my off time I can be found either artistically sculpting metal (mainly sheet), under a classic car, or involved in the community through my studio (Frank's Kitchens) at events in Philadelphia such as KKSD (Kensington Kintetic Sculpture Derby).
