About me

After Graduating with a Product and Furniture Design degree in 2001, I now have over 20 years’ experience within the design and construction industry. A broad and diverse approach has allowed me to develop a strong, design led skill set. Using a range of software, primarily within 3D, I am able to illustrate or visualise accurately with detail (almost) anything.

Having several years in manufacture whilst working at Cowley Timberwork, I also have the skills and expertise to design, develop and rationalise concepts to the point of fabrication. My knowledge also includes CNC and Jig design to create complex and innovative structures.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to have been involved in some high profile projects and schemes for some very well-known clients. These include, Siemens, Center Parcs and Westfields. I have also worked on projects that have been exhibited at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Chelsea Flower Show.

I am a husband and a father of 3, my main hobbies are long walks with our dog Kaci and spending as much time in my workshop as I can. I am located in the heart of the village of Waddington south of Lincoln (UK).

Get in touch if you think you could benefit from my skills or would like to collaborate.
