About & Contact

I hold a Diploma of Engineering — Technical, and I’m currently working through the Advanced Diploma at TAFE NSW Tighes Hill, after studying engineering part-time at the University of Newcastle across mechatronics and software.

Day to day, I work in an industrial workshop, which is where the drawing office and the shop floor meet — and is the reason I draw with manufacture in mind rather than as an afterthought.

Open to mechanical design, drafting, technician, and project support roles across the Newcastle and Hunter region, NSW.
