Buildability
Review material choices, part geometry, joinery, tolerances, assembly access, and likely fabrication constraints.
FOR DESIGNERS WITH IDEAS IN PROGRESS
From sketch
to buildable.
A rough sketch, a Rhino model, or an architectural detail can hold a strong idea without yet answering every fabrication question. I review and develop the drawings so the design intent survives the move toward making.

FROM PROTOTYPE TO OBJECT
The finished detail.
A completed brass knob from the same ornamental hardware study, photographed close enough to see the circular face and decorative edge.
DESIGN MEETS MAKING
The details change when ideas meet materials.
Selected views from separate design, fabrication, and built work—not a single before-and-after sequence.
01 / DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING
Keep the idea. Work out how it gets made.
Drawing clarity
Develop dimensions, views, callouts, and notes so a fabricator can understand the intent and spot open decisions.
Practical revisions
Get markups and an issue list—or, when editable files and scope allow, revised CAD and shop drawings for the next handoff.
02 / START WHERE YOU ARE
Bring the messy middle.
Useful starting points include hand sketches, Rhino models or exports, CAD files, PDFs, and architectural drawings or details for custom objects, interiors, displays, or installations.
- Show me the current version. Tell me what you’re making and where the design-to-build questions are.
- Agree on the scope. We’ll define whether you need feedback, drawing cleanup, or a deeper revision—and confirm deliverable, format, timing, and fee.
- Move forward with clarity. Receive annotated notes, a prioritized DFM issue list, or agreed drawing revisions for fabrication discussion.
READY FOR A SECOND SET OF EYES?
Let’s make the next version easier to build.
Tell me what you’re making, what format you have now, and what the fabricator needs next. Don’t send confidential files until we agree on a sharing method.
