Engagements
Core Expertise
Class A Surfacing
Production-ready interior surfaces developed to OEM quality standards. Continuity, curvature and highlight management across complex assemblies.
CAS Development
Early-phase concept surfaces in Alias — bridging sketch intent with manufacturable geometry. Full pipeline from clay review to digital data.
Interior Specialisation
Dashboard systems, door panels, console areas, trim surfaces. Deep understanding of packaging constraints, materials and perceived quality.
Design + Technical Bridge
Unique background as both designer and modeller — able to interpret design intent precisely and communicate directly with design directors and engineers.
Consulting & Technical Support
Surface Review
Critical evaluation of Class A surfaces before validation — continuity, curvature and highlight behaviour, assessed by a senior outside eye.
Problem-Solving
Focused support to unblock a specific surfacing issue that's stalling a project — a few hours to a few days, no long-term commitment required.
Second Opinion
An independent, senior perspective on interior surface quality before sign-off — for teams that need confirmation, not a new resource.
Flexible Engagement
No selection process, no long-term contract — direct, targeted support scoped to the issue at hand, available remotely on short notice.
