The spectrum between art and engineering is my world. Now with 13 years as a freelancer proceeded by a decades experience with major award winning consultancies, my service aims are innovation, desirability, inspiration and accessibility. My strengths are predominantly ‘form follows function’ orientated, while still retaining a deep love of the beautiful aesthetic, this has gained me a reputation for producing elegantly simple problem solving solutions that have in turn provided my clients with market prominent products. I rely heavily on computer aided design to achieve this and presently run a fully subscribed copy of Solidworks and Solidworks Visualize 2025. I can also generate physical working prototypes due to a strong background in traditional workshop skills and an extensive knowledge of direct digital manufacturing methods. I place great emphasis on client communication and reassurance, posting regular updates as a project develops. Key skills: Concept sketching. Fit and function problem solving. Aesthetic styling. Ergonomics. Product development - both digital and physical prototyping. Detailed understanding of materials and manufacturing processes. 2D technical/engineering drawings. Client/manufacturer liaison. Photorealistic product rendering/visualisation. Branding appreciation. Patent application experience. SolidWorks 2025 user with Elite Application Engineer support and access to all versions. Self taught vehicle engineer.

Hi I'm Kieran. Good to meet you. I'm a Mechanical Design engineer with 11 years experience in the high performance automotive industry. I specialise in getting products to market from prototype designs through to full volume production. I graduated with a first class masters degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK. I can create solutions to your design problem, from initial concept, through to a fully developed production design. I will create 3D CAD models, 3D assemblies, 2D technical drawings for suitable for manufacture, and 3D renders for presentation. I have completed this work for very high profile automotive clients. I worked in a high paced prototype environment, delivering 350 new products a year, and also production environments where parts I have designed are now driving around the roads in high performance production vehicles. Some client projects I have designed include consumer products, medical devices, automotive gearboxes, industrial tools and devices. I will do design work for any idea you have!
