Applying for 2027 mechanical & aerospace degree apprenticeships
Ideas into real things.
CAD, 3D visualisation, software and business operations. GCSE design projects developed through 3D printing, original Blender product images and animation, and Cravate—a web app now in beta. Alongside these projects, Jollymart’s operations ran from age 15.
CEO & Founder of JDC Ventures, currently in formation. I’m bringing engineering, software and commercial operations together to develop a portfolio of products and businesses. The foundation is three years running a UK limited company: suppliers, a private-label launch, advertising, bookkeeping and margin.
3D visualiser and multidisciplinary maker with five years in Blender, plus Unreal Engine and Unity. Product renders, paid CGI advertising, CAD prototypes and a shipped web app now form the practical base for JDC Ventures, currently in formation.
