Hi, I’m a Designer with 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial design and engineering. My focus is on real-world, manufacturable solutions. I work in SolidWorks and can deliver fully detailed CAD models, drawings, assemblies, and prototype-ready files. I understand materials, tolerances, production methods, and how things come together. Whether it’s a simple part or a complex mechanism, I’ll make sure the design is solid, practical, and ready for manufacturing. I’ve designed everything from consumer products and sports gear to mechanical systems and testing rigs. I’ll flag problems early, communicate clearly, and focus on designing something that’s actually buildable—not just good-looking on screen.

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.
