Since I started out as an apprentice goldsmith in 1985, I have worked extensively as a freelance design specialist, model-maker, wax modeler, high-end goldsmith/designer and co-owned an upmarket boutique jewellery manufacturing business.
Since 2004 I have dedicated myself to CAD (Rhinoceros) and managed to combine the sum of my skills and experience successfully, setting myself apart from the majority of CAD jewellery designers.
I am passionate about jewellery and have a sound work ethic. I believe in developing long term relations with a few clients so that we may develop excellent rapport which leads to efficient and productive processing of assignments.
I may consider a full time appointment if the offer is suitable. I would prefer to remain based in Brisbane / Gold Coast if possible and am prepared to travel frequently if that would be required.

Description
CAD Jewellery Design
6 yrs
5.0
2009
I successfully combined my extensive experience on the jeweller's bench and as a specialist designer with CAD which gives me a great advantage over other CAD designers. I have excellent insight in terms of structural, aesthetic, ergonomic and commercial aspects of design, much of which can not be taught but are the result of many years of experience as a specialist jewellery designer and craftsman.
Goldsmith / Jewellery Manufacturing

2009
With 25+ years experience, I achieved a very high level of manual jewellery production skills in terms of construction, wax modeling, product range development, commercial jewellery and high end exclusive make-ups.
Traditional Jewellery Design
25 yrs
