About

Curious, deliberate, methodical, and with attention to detail. Good working with my hands when rapid prototyping, but prefer ideating, designing, and 3D modelling parts for manufacturing.

Best with wooden structures (timber frame, mass timber) but enjoy ideating and designing simpler mechanical parts as well.

Education

  • Selkirk college, British Columbia, Canada Digital Fabrication and Design (2 Year Diploma), Additive and substractive manufacturing, CAD/CAM, A+ 2022 – 2024 Activities and Societies: null The Digital Fabrication & Design Program encourages students to develop worldly perspectives, design skills and practical hands-on skills that support emerging technologies in digital fabrication. The program aims to prepare and inspire design-forward, human-centred problem-solvers who can collaborate, adapt and respond within rapidly transforming environments.
    The program ensures relevance through constant technology updates and equipment acquisition. The curriculum is refined in response to the evolving needs of industry.

    Curiosity and creativity are encouraged as students undertake a broad range of design challenges. Students discover their interests through collaboration, ideation and iteration, making, prototyping and testing. At the heart of every student is the ability to adapt and apply technology to solve complex problems across a wide range of industries.

    Giving students a full spectrum of digital fabrication implementations and opportunities, learning includes but is not limited to:
    Design for advanced manufacturing
    Traditional fabrication shop and safety practices
    3D scanning and reverse engineering
    Rapid prototyping and design verification
    3D computer aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM)
    Additive manufacturing (3D printing)
    Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining)
    Entrepreneurial studies
    Sustainable product design
