I bring a diverse range of skills and experience that add value to any team or project. With a strong mechanical background, I can understand and work with complex systems. I’m quick on my feet, allowing me to assess situations and make effective decisions under pressure. My organizational skills ensure that projects run smoothly and deadlines are consistently met. I have 6+ years of experience as a drafter, plus an additional 3 years of technical drafting apprenticeship, making me skilled at turning concepts into detailed technical drawings. On top of that, I studied for 3.5 years in the evenings to earn my state-certified engineering degree, underscoring my commitment to quality and industry standards. I excel at interpreting blueprints, which helps me visualize and execute complex designs accurately. I have worked extensively with AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge, which enhances my ability to create precise designs. Additionally, my broad tool knowledge allows me to work effectively with various equipment. Overall, my skills and experience provide a strong foundation for contributing to projects, improving processes, and achieving successful outcomes.

We’re not just designers—we’re problem-solvers who understand how things are built. At Metamorphosed, we specialize in interior design, cabinetry, millwork, and 3D visualization that looks beautiful and makes sense on site. With a background rooted in hands-on building and fabrication, our designs bridge the gap between concept and construction—so what you see on screen is exactly what gets built in the real world. We work with builders, renovators, and homeowners to bring projects to life faster and with fewer headaches. From high-end kitchen designs and custom millwork packages to detailed technical drawings and realistic 3D renders, we help streamline communication between clients, designers, and trades—reducing errors, saving time, and cutting down on wasted materials. Every design we create is technically sound, buildable, and crafted to reflect real-world precision. Whether it’s cabinetry detailing, millwork shop drawings, or full interior and exterior visualizations, our focus is always on making projects smoother for everyone involved.

I really like 3D visualization and would like to eventually master 3D's Max. I'm currently experienced using Revit and Enscape for marketing and construction floor plans. I've been able to design multiple concepts, proposals to city planners, engineers, and other building professionals. I'd love to help anyone with a big idea and try to make a tangible plan. We can always build better, and smarter. I look forward to what the world will build 20 years from now and to see what will stand the test of time.

I develop complex ideas into buildable, working systems by bringing together design, electronics, code, and validation for a final system that works reliably and reproducibly. Background PhD neuroscientist and biomedical engineering postdoc at UBC’s School of Biomedical Engineering. My job is to design experiments, develop research instruments, and pair them with analysis pipelines for publications and open-source release. This same toolkit extends to non-research projects, including prototype mechanisms, instrumentation, and production-ready CAD. Highlights • Experience: 13 years designing and developing custom experimental equipment, including collaborations with industry partners. • Design Portfolio: 3 complete behavioral systems with 10+ total instruments deployed. • Methods Publications: 2 first-author peer-reviewed papers and 2 preprints detailing my systems. Core Skills • Design and Fabrication: SolidWorks CAD (assemblies, drawings, motion, rendering), DFM, jigs & fixtures, ECAD, wiring harnesses, soldering/rework, laser/waterjet, CNC mill/router, FDM/SLA 3D printing, manual mill/lathe • Control and Robotics: embedded systems; closed-loop control; motion control; embedded C/C++, Python, ROS, AVR/ARM MCUs, Raspberry Pi, I2C/UART/SPI/EtherCAT, DC/Stepper/Servo, GRBL, timing/TTL syn. Approach My approach to design is grounded in practicality: tailor designs to the fabrication methods available and sufficient to make them. I enjoy working with both technical and non-technical creators alike. Whether you need a rough concept 3D model based on a back-of-the-envelope sketch or a full parameter-driven multi-component, multi-material mechanical assembly, I’m here to help translate your idea into a real, buildable product.

My background includes extensive experience in the Design and Development of Super Yachts to 100 meters, Submarines and Submersibles, High Performance and Tactical vessels, as well as Experimental Aircraft, and a range of Automotive projects. Every effort is made to ensure all projects remain "On Time and On Budget", each undergoes a work breakdown, and is subject to continuous Professional Project Management through to completion. Developing an accurate computer model is the basis for all downstream FEA and CFD analysis, fabrication drawings, and downstream CNC production data, as well as visualization and image rendering. Todays stronger, and lighter structures often require utilizing advanced materials and innovative assembly techniques. These may include hybrid metals, or advanced composite laminate solutions.
