About me

Maker and owner of Archer Industrial

For as long as I can remember, I just made things…it was second nature. As a kid and throughout my early adult life I designed and made whatever I could dream up, dismantle and repair. As I got older, my passion for innovation and creativity grew. I studied and gained experience as an engineering tradesperson, learning in-depth skills in computer aided machining, manufacturing and welding. I have always been passionate about innovation and enjoy product development and complex projects.

I have travelled extensively and lived in remote and metropolitan areas across Australia before settling in the beautiful town of Mullumbimby, in the Byron Shire, Northern New South Wales where my workshop is also located.

Archer Industrial was established in 2015, and in that time I have learnt many unique and challenging aspects of the industry such as suppliers, available materials, finishing requirements, transport logistics and machinery outreach e.g. rolling, folding, CNC plasma and waterjet cutting. I am always excited and proud to share the knowledge I have, and continue to gain, to help projects achieve their ultimate outcome. 

Work with Archer 

A lot of the time it starts with a simple conversation, an idea, a sketch or a detailed computer aided design (CAD) and we progress from there, refining material options, specifics, timelines and quotes. In-person and video calls are always great (but not essential),  as they help establish the project more efficiently and can get things rolling quicker. I have a great understanding of budgets, timelines and pressures, both residential and Commercial.

So whether you’re an interior designer, builder, architect, project manager, managing your own build or renovation or have a general enquiry, I’d love to hear from you!
