Perth, Australia - 4:08 am local time
I’m a mechanical engineer and product development specialist based in Perth, with over a decade of experience delivering real-world solutions across manufacturing, industrial design, and custom engineering. I help businesses — from startups to established manufacturers — bring new products to life, streamline production, and solve hard technical problems.

I don't just draw things that look nice. I build things that work — in steel, plastics, composites, and across the full manufacturing spectrum.

What I do best:

Full Product Development: From rough concepts to ready-for-manufacture designs, including CAD, DFM, prototyping, and testing.

Advanced Materials & Processes: Deep expertise in extrusion, injection/blow molding, composite layups, metal fabrication, and modular product design.

CAD + Engineering Analysis: SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and full-stack FEA. I design with intent — every fitment, method, and tolerance considered.

Manufacturing Coordination: I liaise directly with toolmakers, factories, and fabricators — local and offshore — to get your product built.

R&D + Prototyping: Practical problem-solving for complex devices, early-stage tech, and iterative design cycles.

What makes me different:

I speak the language of the factory floor and the boardroom. That means clear communication, tight scope control, and real commercial awareness.

I’m direct, fast-moving, and deeply experienced in IP-sensitive industries.

You’ll never get fluff — just grounded, technically sound work that moves your project forward.

Typical projects:

4x4 Accessories, Bike racks, modular systems, medical devices, Sporting equipment, tool design, toys, skis / snowboards, automotive & aeronautic components.

Custom product development

IP strategy, DFM reviews, structural design, and materials testing.

Let’s talk if you need a consultant who can dive deep into your product’s mechanical, material, and manufacturing challenges — and help you get it made!

    Here’s what Andrew will need to know before you meet
