About
I have worked for the last 2 1/2 years as a CAD Designer in the jewellery industry. This role included creating 3D models for manufacture in precious metals, file creation for and running of a laser engraver, printing 3D models and rendering images for client approval, and being part of the design team for in-house collections. Further experience includes freelance design and research assistance over a range of projects, including healthcare and metalsmith fields. My Masters of Design Innovation project 'Designed Deposition' researched new opportunities of Freeform 3D printing, and has been presented at conferences both within New Zealand and internationally. These experiences have grown my abilities in surface, solid and parametric 3D modelling. My interest in design expands to all forms of craft, undertaking my elective papers in fine arts, and dabbling in ceramics, painting and sculpture over the years to create an aesthetic and design perspective that finds importance in crafting materials both by hand and through the aid of CAD and CNC machinery.
