Veteran multi-disciplinary creative fabricator and freelance artist with 25+ years delivering custom work for film, commercial clients, tourism businesses, and private commissions. I specialize in end-to-end execution—from concept and AI-assisted graphic design through CNC fabrication, multi-color 3D printing, molding/casting, and finished installation-ready pieces. I blend traditional craftsmanship (wood, metal, resin, silicone) with modern production tools to produce precise, on-time results. I’m especially strong in branded signage, product prototypes, film props/animatronics, sculptures, and packaging, and I enjoy project-based work that requires creative problem-solving and reliable delivery.…Veteran multi-disciplinary creative fabricator and freelance artist with 25+ years delivering custom work for film, commercial clients, tourism businesses, and private commissions.
