Commercial Naval Architecture & Vessel Design
Practical, efficient vessels designed with the builder in mindI am a professional naval architect with over a decade of experience designing high-performance, buildable vessels. My work spans commercial aluminium craft and custom yachts, grounded in hands-on construction knowledge and rigorous engineering practice.
Engineering Informed by the Boatyard
I have worked as a professional naval architect since 2012. While my career has led me into the design of modern commercial vessels, it began in the boatyard—restoring wooden boats and building fiberglass craft before returning to school for engineering.
Design Approach
Regardless of vessel type, every design is approached with the same priorities:
• Clear, buildable structure
• Efficient use of materials
• Simplified construction sequences
• Long-term durability and serviceability
This foundation continues to inform my work today. A clear understanding of how vessels are actually built allows me to develop designs that are practical to construct, efficient to operate, and well suited to real-world service.
