About

I am a seasoned Technical Illustrator and Graphic Designer with over 35 years of experience across Europe, specializing in creating technical illustrations and manuals for automotive, railway, defence systems, and aviation sectors. I excel at turning complex engineering data into precise, visually engaging imagery using tools such as CATIA V5, 3ds Max, Arbortext IsoDraw, and the Adobe Creative Suite. I thrive in team environments and can oversee projects within broader organizational and industry frameworks, bridging engineering, training, and publication needs.

I have collaborated across public, voluntary, and creative sectors, translating concepts into accessible visuals that support community development. I bring a disciplined approach to technical publications, strong design sense, and a genuine passion for applying design to real-world engineering and public-service projects.
