The Maker
I work with one client at a time, bringing in trusted tradespeople when the job calls for it. No shortcuts.

I’ve spent my career shaping aluminium and steel — from contract fabrication to fully custom, design-led pieces built in my own Whanganui workshop.

What I Build

Whatever the metal, whatever the brief.

01

Custom Gates

Entrance and driveway gates designed around your property, not a catalogue.

Decorative Metalwork & Garden Art

Scrollwork, railings, architectural detail, and garden features. If you can picture it, bring it to me.

Repairs, Trailers & Rural Fabrication

Horse floats, stable fittings, trailers, and general metalwork — practical jobs done properly, no shortcuts.

The Process

From sketch to steel.

01

Conversation

A chat about the property and the piece — no forms, no salespeople.

02

Design

Sketched and refined until it’s exactly right, before any steel is cut.

03

Fabrication

Hand-forged and welded in my own Whanganui workshop.

04

Installation

Delivered and installed on-site, built to outlast the property.
