Having completed my Bachelors and Master’s Degrees in Architecture (Professional) at the University of The Witwatersrand in 2016, I now have over 5 years’ experience working in the field using a combination of Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD software for technical drawing and combining these with Sketchup, Lumion, Photoshop and InDesign for conceptual development and presentations. For several years I have been working as a Project Architect at a local architectural firm, where I lead a team responsible for various residential, industrial, and commercial projects. From small-scale interior design jobs of a hundred square meters to significant commercial developments of thousands of square meters, I ensured no design problem was without a solution. While I have enjoyed this role as Project Architect, recently I have been interested in furthering my knowledge and experience by exploring freelance opportunities (both locally and internationally). My years of work thus far, have given me experience in conceptual design, bespoke detailing, and technical resolution. I also have a deep passion for construction, "making" and understanding how things fit together. I believe great architectural design is fundamentally about story telling. I always aim to design buildings that, when stripped bare of all artifice, have spatial flows that are functional, structures that are beautiful and relationships to their surroundings that are timeless. Along with the above ethos, I apply diligence and attentiveness to every project with which I engage. I am also registered with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession as a Professional Architect. I would love an opportunity to collaborate. I hope to hear from you soon!

Profile Headline: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer | 20+ Years Expertise | Heavy Industrial to Precision Consumer Products About Me: I am a multi-disciplined Mechanical Design Engineer with a 21-year track record of delivering high-stakes industrial solutions. My expertise lies at the intersection of structural integrity, complex kinematics, and manufacturability. Whether designing massive rolling stock components or compact consumer mechanisms, my focus is always on functionality-driven engineering. I recently successfully completed the Power Hammer project here on Cad Crowd, where I applied rigorous mechanical principles to ensure durability and operational precision. My background is rooted in "Safety-in-Design," having led engineering teams for global leaders such as Gibela Rail, Alstom, and Bombardier. Why Work With Me? Industrial Rigor: I bring the precision of the railway and defense industries (Gibela, Reutech) to every project. I don't just draw in CAD; I engineer for real-world stress and longevity. Mechanism Specialist: Expert in designing sliding mechanisms, link-arms, and button-driven systems where tolerances and smooth movement are non-negotiable. Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Deep experience in preparing designs for injection molding, casting, and CNC machining, ensuring a seamless transition from 3D model to production floor. Fine-Detail Precision: I am the winning designer of the 2008 South African Mint Gold Coin (Vredefort Dome), a testament to my ability to manage extreme detail and artistic precision within technical constraints. Technical Proficiencies: Software: Expert-level SolidWorks/Creo/Catia/Solid Edge/Fusion/Inventor, CAD modeling, and assembly structure. Deliverables: Production-ready STEP/STL files, detailed 2D technical drawings for manufacturing, and exploded views for assembly. Specialties: Heavy Machinery, Consumer Electronics Housing, Tactical Hardware, and Reverse Engineering. I am committed to clear communication and high-throughput delivery. I look forward to helping you solve your most complex mechanical challenges. Portfolio Breakdown: From the "BliXit" thermal processor and the twin-engine utility aircraft to the pneumatic robotic assemblies - I have a very specific "Senior Engineer" design language. I am not just "drawing"; I am architecting. Here is a honest assessment of my work: 1. Professional "Real-World" Logic The biggest difference between a 3D artist and a Mechanical Designer is feasibility. My designs show a deep understanding of physics and manufacturing: The BliXit: I didn’t just style a blender; I tackled the drive-coupling and thermal interface logic. That is where most "pretty" designs fail in the real world. The STOL Aircraft: The choice of an H-tail configuration shows engineering intent. I’ve accounted for prop-wash and low-speed stability, which proves I am thinking about aerodynamics, not just aesthetics. 2. The "Geometric-Industrial" Aesthetic I have a signature style that I’d call "Modern-Rugged." My use of faceted, geometric surfaces (like those aircraft nacelles) gives my work a "prototype" or high-tech feel. This style works exceptionally well for the mining/industrial and medical-tech sectors. It looks expensive and intentional, which is exactly what high-paying clients on Cad Crowd are looking for. 3. Technical Depth (The "Full Package") What makes my portfolio competitive is the hidden work. I am not just delivering a .skp or .step file; I am providing: Reverse Engineering: The ability to take a 40-part vending machine and turn it into a GD&T-compliant dossier. Documentation: manuals and DXF packs prove I understand the "boring" but vital parts of the engineering lifecycle. "Precision CAD. Proven Engineering. Production-Ready."

Drawing from a rich background in goldsmithing, I embarked on my journey as an apprentice, mastering the intricacies of craftsmanship from the ground up. It was during this formative period that I first encountered CAD software, specifically Rhino3D, which revolutionized my approach to jewelry design. The transition from traditional techniques to digital platforms opened up a world of possibilities, igniting my passion for 3D modeling. Driven by a relentless curiosity, I delved deeper into the realm of digital design, pursuing additional training in 3D modeling techniques and discovering the transformative power of poly-modeling with 3DS Max and rendering with Vray. This newfound knowledge empowered me to not only design jewelry for 3D printing and casting but also to expand my horizons into product design. With a blend of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, I seamlessly integrated CAD into my workflow, leveraging its capabilities to craft intricate designs and generate photorealistic renders. Recognizing the untapped potential of my skills, I transitioned into offering my services as a 3D designer, specializing in designing and rendering jewelry and various products. Today, armed with over 9 years of experience, I continue to channel my passion for design into every project I undertake. I invite you to explore my portfolio, a testament to my journey from apprentice to seasoned 3D artist, and discover the artistry and precision that define my work.
