Areas of Practice

plans

 

If you need to get a new pergola approved by your HoA, or if you need to get floor plans approved by the city, I will work with you or your engineer to get You what you need.

prototyping

 

Whether you’re staring with a rendering or a napkin sketch, I bring to you experience working with metals, woods, ceramics, resins, rubbers in casting, additive and subtractive processes, surface finishing, coatings, painting and experience troubleshooting every step along the way. We will solve the problems that will slow you down.

detailing

 

No matter what stage your project is at, if it’s not finished then someone has to grind out the details. Hand it off to JHD so that you can get back to the broad strokes and push on.

Collaboration

 

Socially distanced is the new standard, and I have been working remotely for years. It’s easy to let ideas get lost in translation, just talking on the phone or just jotting notes on a drawing, things can be misconstrued or missed. I typically screen share in process models and drawings, keep meeting notes and also review and share notes to wrap up a meeting and keep a record of where we are. I will give your ideas and your projects the attention that is necessary to hear you and grasp your goals. Whether you want to be peppered with a bunch of ideas or you just need someone to take your input and implement. I am available, and I am available anywhere.

Bill of Materials and cut list

 

Modeling and drawing what needs to be made is just the beginning. JHD can provide you with a list of all your parts, all your lengths of stock, center of mass for parts or for assembly, miter angles, weight, surface area, the list goes on. Information that you need implemented into your planning and design, I will pack it all in there.

construction Site inspection

 

JHD is mobile, that means your site can be inspected and measured. This can be of use to clients with old and out dated plans, clients that have lost their existing plans or clients that want to check their plans accuracy before moving forward. Elements may need to be drAWN INTO NEW PLANS TO SHOW WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT EXISTING CONSTRUCTION, this can help to keep inspections focussed on what should be inspected.

Design

 

Know what you want, but don’t know what it should look like, or just don’t want to solve this problem? Tell JHD what need to have designed and turn us loose. turn around for small to medium projects can be as fast as a few days for first draft renderings. From very basic parts to complex surfacing and function, let JHD design your solution.
