Projects
Over the years I’ve been involved in the design, development and manufacture of scientific equipment, medical devices, consumer & industrial products and museum exhibitry. In my spare time I like to tinker, invent and build things. Below are examples of some of the things I’ve worked on and built.
Mechanical Design
Overview of my work
Mechanical design, R&D, Mfg engineering, etc.
Furniture & Household Objects
I’ve always enjoyed building physical objects, working with my hands and creating useful, space-efficient solutions to basic living needs. Here’s a sampling of things I’ve designed and built.
