BASED IN SUFFOLK I AM A 'MASTER CARPENTER' SPECIALISING IN 'CREATIVE CONSTRUCTION'
As an award-winning creative professional I work with a diverse array of clients, managing everything from bespoke residential carpentry commissions and remodelling projects to collaborations across various sectors including hospitality, food and beverage, events, festivals, education and theatre.
I collaborate closely with clients, guiding them through the process from initial design pitches and presentations to preparing budgets and technical specifications. I take a hands-on approach to manage the construction of stunning spaces that not only capture the attention of the press but also shine on Instagram and social media. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, whether on private commissions or as part of a team delivering award-winning projects for larger organisations.
I am able to work in number of different roles including principal creative, technical designer, master carpenter, crew chief/team leader, project, logistics and budget manager.
AREAS OF WORK
CREATIVE & TECHNICAL
I can produce mood boards, 2D scale drawings, 3D renderings, animated walk throughs, printer / CNC ready artwork and Risk Assessments with Method Statements.
I have a Mac based design studio using Creative Suite, SketchUp, Google Apps with duplicate workstations in our workshop. I can conduct considered research and generate exciting concepts including technical detailing where required culminating in compelling pitches and presentations which are actually practical!
EXTERIOR CONSTRUCTION
Having worked with a number of timber mills and suppliers I really enjoy working with such an amazing natural material especially on outdoor projects.
I believe it is hard to beat the feel, beauty and warmth that well finished carpentry can bring to a project. Combining this with a recent desire from clients for more natural and sustainable materials it is easy to see why working in timber is gaining so much popularity.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
I have designed and built for a wide range of clients ranging from small ‘street food’ vendors to premier hotels in the heart of London.
Including award winning sponsored restaurants and bars I deliver projects which not only look visually exciting and are very ‘Instagrammable’ but are practical and profitable to operate. As well as delivering on the bottom line the spaces attract traditional PR and encourage influencer posts promoting the spaces as true ‘destination’ venues in their own right.
MASTER CARPENTRY
I can work to +/- 1mm in our workshop as well as having the practical experience of accommodating tolerance while working with natural materials.
Beginning at the design stage I am able to produce accurately rendered 3D pre visualisations and technical working drawings. Working with a number of materials including manufactured products and natural timbers I have designed and installed a wide range of projects including living room storage and display shelving, commercial dining tables, ergonomic banquette seating and exterior decking & garden buildings.
THEATRE & EVENTS
I started set building for theatre and have since gone onto to build sets for both large established brands as well as smaller startups and charities / non profits.
Having worked for some time in the events sector I appreciate how fast paced and constantly changing it can be. I am able to quickly problem solve and be calm under pressure while managing a number of crew and objectives.
CNC MANUFACTURING
With a large working area this CNC can easily cope with machining Foamex, MDF & acrylic perfect for quickly manufacturing parts, signs, toys and furniture etc.
Currently it is set up for a 1270mm x 1270mm working area but looking to upgrade this to accommodate full 8′ x 4′ sheets, limit switches, a depth gauge, a remote power switch and probably a few more treats.
