WE LIVE IN AN AGE OF CONVENIENCE.
I'M BUILDING A CULTURE OF CRAFT.

my story
Rather than specializing in a single discipline, I build across many. From fabrication-ready CAD drawings and workflow automation to illustrations, printmaking, and interactive experiments, every project begins with the same goal: solve a problem through thoughtful design.
my philosphy
The figure of Daedalus represents more than mythology—he embodies the inventor, architect, craftsman, and engineer. Neo Daedalus is my interpretation of that tradition: applying timeless principles of making to contemporary tools, from AutoCAD and programming to digital illustration and fabrication.
my portfolio
This portfolio is a collection of finished work, ongoing experiments, and ideas in progress. Some projects are engineered for manufacturing, others exist simply to explore form, story, and craft. Together they reflect a belief that technical precision and artistic curiosity belong in the same workshop.

the persona
I am a multidisciplinary designer working at the intersection of engineering, art, and technology. My background spans CAD drafting, fabrication, graphic design, workflow automation, digital illustration, and traditional printmaking. Whether developing production drawings, writing software to streamline repetitive tasks, or creating visual narratives, I approach every project with the same emphasis on clarity, craftsmanship, and purposeful design.
I enjoy understanding how things are made. That curiosity has led me through workshops, fabrication floors, digital studios, and programming environments, each adding another layer to the way I solve problems. Technical accuracy and creative exploration are not competing ideas—they strengthen one another.
Neo Daedalus serves as both portfolio and workshop: a place to document completed projects, share ongoing experiments, and continue building new ideas across disciplines.
