Technical Skills

Auto CAD

Stephen is highly experienced in technical drawing using AutoCAD. He developed this skill while working as an architectural technician in his local council office, prior to entering the media industry. For over twenty years, he has applied this expertise to producing detailed set plans and layout drawings, as well as technical setting plans for every build.

Hand Drawn Plans

Stephen is also skilled in hand-drawn technical drafting using a traditional drawing board. While advances in technology have reduced the need for hand drawing, it remains an invaluable method for adding precise detail, notation, shading, and measurements, particularly when clarity and craftsmanship are essential.

Graphic Design

Stephen has designed a wide range of graphics throughout his career, including various logos such as the Class logo shown in the images below. He is proficient in Adobe Photoshop and SketchUp, which he uses to create both high-quality graphic designs and digital 3D models.
