About

Built on process. Driven by craft.

I'm Rob — a mechanical and manufacturing process engineer turned full-time maker. RJ Design operates across design, fabrication, and consulting, with a focus on work that's made properly and built to outlast the trend cycle.

I design puzzles, mechanisms and kinetic sculptures. Everything I put out is worth keeping.
