I’m a Product Design Engineer with a background in professional design engineering, hands-on marine systems and practical prototyping. I specialise in turning ideas, sketches and real-world problems into functional 3D models, technical drawings and prototype-ready designs. I hold qualifications in Multi-Disciplinary Engineering & Design and Drawing Office Practice, with professional experience designing industrial environmental-control and process systems using AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor. Since moving into the superyacht industry in 2014, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience working with mechanical equipment, marine systems, maintenance, fabrication and practical problem-solving. That experience strongly influences how I design: simple, functional, serviceable and built around how something will actually be used. Today I work primarily in Shapr3D, alongside AutoCAD, Inventor and FDM 3D-printing workflows. My independent projects include mechanical products, irrigation and hydroponic systems, equipment concepts, assemblies, functional mechanisms and everyday product solutions. The part I enjoy most is the beginning: you have an idea, sketch or problem — I work out how to turn it into something real. Available for product design, 3D CAD modelling, technical drawings, concept development, design for 3D printing and prototype development.

As an innovative editor, visual storyteller and post production specialist in terms of grade, CGI and VFX, I love challenges that expand my skills and have a keen interest in new film technologies. I started my editing career while signed to Gallo as an artist with the band Karoo with our first music video - 'Mission Impossible'. Fascinated by film I started from the ground up working as an all-hander on films like 'Dangerous Grounds' and 'The Making of a Mahatma'. After spending two years working on numerous sets I finally found my way into the editing suite. Here I gained hands-on skills by editing and delivering many hours of diverse content for television. I had found my passion. I got my first film break with "lokshin bioskopes movies" like 'The Conman' and 'Foreign Hearts'. This led to the acclaimed Afrikaans film 'Die Spook van Uniondale' which I both edited and graded, including all VFX work in the film, which was the first film I edited for producer Dumi Gumbi. 'The Dunning Kruger Effect' was next, 'Mrs Right Guy' followed directed by Adze Ugah, which was a box office hit in South African theatres in 2016. I edited the SA/USA co-production, "Love By Chance" (Best Feature UMFF, Opening Night Film Houston Black Film Festival and GCUFF and Official Selection at Pan African Film Festival), a romantic comedy on screens across more than 30 cinemas in South Africa in 2017, as well as the psychological thriller, "The Tokoloshe" (13 Festivals incl: BIFAN, SITGES, Frightfest, Motel/x, LUND and Razor Reel ), beautifully shot by award-winning South African cinematographer - Trever A Brown. This was an opportunity to edit a classically structured genre film that also involved major CGI and VFX. Other Films incl: 'Love Lives here', 'The Letter Reader'(Winner shnit Worldwide Shortfilmfestival), 'Life's a Drag(Winner, Sundance TV shorts)' and "Blessers"

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.

Structural Design & Detailing Technician | Reinforced Concrete | AutoCAD I am an experienced Structural Design & Detailing Technician specialising in reinforced concrete design, structural detailing and AutoCAD drafting. I can assist with structural projects from **load assessment and preliminary design through to reinforcement detailing and production of clear, construction-ready drawings**. My Structural Experience My work includes: * Reinforced concrete beam design * Reinforced concrete slab design * Cantilever slab design * Flexural and shear checks * Reinforcement selection and detailing * Anchorage and development length assessment * Structural load calculations * Reinforcement layouts and schedules * Structural steel detailing * Structural connection detailing * Foundation and supporting-element design * Interpretation and development of structural drawings * AutoCAD structural drafting and detailing I am comfortable working with **Eurocode, British Standards and SANS-based structural design approaches**, and can work with different reinforcement grades and design requirements. Design + Detailing My strength is combining **structural engineering understanding with practical CAD detailing**. I don't simply produce drawings from information supplied by others. Where required, I can work through the structural problem, establish the design requirements, perform the necessary checks and then translate the result into a practical reinforcement/detailing solution. I pay particular attention to: **Load paths • Structural behaviour • Reinforcement arrangement • Anchorage • Shear • Flexure • Constructability • Clear drawings** Technology & Efficiency I have also developed my own structural design application to assist with preliminary structural calculations and design workflows within an AutoCAD-based environment. This allows me to streamline repetitive design processes while retaining engineering judgement and independent checking. The result is **faster turnaround without treating structural design as a "push-button" exercise**. What I Can Help You With Whether you already have a structural design that needs detailing, or you need assistance developing the design itself, I can provide support with: **Structural Design** * RC beams * RC slabs * Cantilevers * Supporting elements * Preliminary member sizing * Load calculations * Design checks **Structural Detailing** * Reinforcement layouts * Bar arrangement * Anchorage/detailing * Sections and elevations * Reinforcement schedules * Structural steel details * Construction details **CAD** * AutoCAD drafting * Structural drawing production * Drawing revisions * Redrafting and cleanup * Converting engineering information into clear construction drawings Why Work With Me? I approach structural drafting from a **design and constructability perspective**, rather than simply producing lines in CAD. My objective is to deliver drawings and calculations that are: **Accurate • Practical • Clearly presented • Efficient • Suitable for construction documentation** I am available for both individual projects and longer-term freelance structural design/detailing work. **Current freelance rate: $58/hour.** If you have a structural drawing, calculation, reinforcement detail or design problem that needs attention, feel free to contact me and we can discuss the requirements.
