a few things from my digital workbench
A selection of my CAD models, from moving mechanisms to the little details that make an assembly work.
This isn’t everything I’ve modelled — just a few favourites. More on the way!
01product design / mechanical assembly
A chessboard with a little surprise: turn the board and the piece-storage compartments open. I designed this 27-part SolidWorks assembly for The STEAM Project, working through the gears, fit, and assembly to make a kit kids could build themselves.

The mechanical side of a double-pendulum art installation. These models explore the pendulum arms and the drive enclosure, fitting shafts, bearings, a motor, and control hardware into the larger installation.

A fully 3D-printed mechanical bird that turns rotation into wing movement using cams. The CAD brings the outer form and internal mechanism together, with room to experiment with tolerances and lightweight parts.

A dimensionally accurate guitar model built from over 40 parts. This was a chance to spend time on the details: the body contours, neck geometry, and placement of the bridge and hardware.
