Assistance Experience
I have worked freelance as a Technical and 3D Design Assistant for Bakehouse Factory in Bristol. This position involved taking rough 3D Sketch-up models and translating them into detailed and precise technical construction drawings for production. For this I used Autocad and Rhino 8, producing drawings which include accurate 3D renders of each item and prepping all CNC files for cutting.
I have a wide breadth of design and making skills from physical model-making to 3D CAD:
- 3D Modelling – Rhino 8
- Technical Drawing and 3D Technical Drawing – Autocad and Rhino 8
- Graphic Design – Adobe Photoshop
- Storyboarding – Photography and Photoshop
- Script Breakdown – Spreadsheeting with Google Sheets
- 1:25 Model-Making
- Painting: Model & Scenic
- Soldering
- Laser Cutting
- 3D Printing
- Hand & Machine Sewing Skills & Basic Alterations
- Basic Carpentry and Prop-Making Skills
I am a Welsh-Speaker and I have a full, clean UK Driving License.
