About

I have over 25 years’ experience in designing, fabricating, and sculpting physical work across both traditional and contemporary processes.

My practice combines digital design — including CAD development for CNC production — with hands-on fabrication using workshop machinery and manual finishing techniques. This balance allows each edition to retain material authenticity while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

Every release is developed through research, prototyping, and controlled production in small numbers. The focus is not on decorative interpretation, but on physical integrity — weight, surface behaviour, and structural fidelity to the original object.

Film artefacts have long held a particular fascination for me — not as memorabilia, but as physical objects shaped by production history, material choices, and time.

Based in the UK, I work independently, producing limited artefact editions with an emphasis on material honesty and long-term presence.
