Washington, Illinois · FAA Part 107 Certified
Design. Build. Capture. Fly.
I design and 3D print custom parts, fly licensed aerial photo and video, and shoot automotive stills — out of one shop in central Illinois.
Hired by drivers and builders who need a part that doesn't exist, agents, landowners and contractors who need the view from above, and shops and brands who need their work shot properly.
- CAD Parametric & scan-to-CAD
- FDM Nylon, PETG-CF & TPU, printed in-house
- Part 107 FAA certified remote pilot
- On location Central Illinois
What I do
Three ways to hire me.
Separate disciplines, one shop. Pick the one that matches your project — or ask about more than one.
01 / CUSTOM DESIGN & PARTS
Parts that fit the car you actually have.
Parametric CAD and scan-to-CAD reproduction, produced in-house as production-grade FDM parts, from a single prototype to a small production run. Material is picked for the job: PA6-GF nylon is the flagship for under-hood parts, with PA6, PETG-CF and TPU where they fit better.
- Intakes, ducting, brackets & sensor housings
- Dash panels, gauge pods & interior trim
- Scan-to-CAD reproduction of parts you can't buy
- Prototypes and small-batch production runs
For drivers, builders, restorers, fabricators and shops.
02 / AERIAL & DRONE
The angle the ground can't give you.
FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot flying licensed low-altitude photo and video for cars, property, job sites and events across central Illinois.
- Automotive aerials — rolling and top-down
- Real estate, land & acreage overviews
- Construction and site-progress sets
- Events and business promotional coverage
Every flight is planned around airspace authorization and local rules. Some locations are restricted or need advance approval — I'll tell you before you book.
For agents, landowners, builders, contractors and event organizers.
03 / PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
Shot the way it actually looks.
On-location automotive photography and cinematic video. I shoot the same builds I design, which means I know what's worth pointing a camera at.
- Build features and cover-grade stills
- Sale and listing photography
- Car meets, shows and event coverage
- Short-form video cut for social
For owners, builders, shops, event teams and brands.
The work
Real parts. Real frames.
Everything below was designed, printed or shot here — no stock, no renders passed off as photos.
Getting started
How a project starts.
No forms to decode and no commitment to send a first message.
01
Send what you have
A sketch, a phone photo, a part number, an address, or a half-formed idea. Rough is fine — most projects start that way.
02
I tell you if I can help
I'll say straight out whether it's something I can make, fly or shoot — and if it isn't, I'll say that too rather than stretch.
03
We scope it and start
Once the job is clear, you get scope and a quote before any work begins. Nothing starts until you've agreed to it.
What to send me
The more of this you include up front, the faster I can give you a real answer.
For a custom part
- Year, make and model, or the machine it fits
- Photos of the area and the part it replaces
- Rough dimensions or the original part to scan
- Where it sits — underhood, interior, exterior
- How many you need
For a drone project
- The address or map pin of the location
- What it's for — listing, progress, promo, reveal
- Stills, video, or both
- Any date you're working toward
- Whether the site has access restrictions
For photography
- The car, build or event
- Where you'd like to shoot, if you have a spot
- What the images are for — sale, feature, social
- Stills, video, or both
- Any date you're working toward
I don't quote a price or a turnaround until I've seen the job — a bracket and a full dash panel aren't the same work, and neither are a single aerial pass and a recurring site set. Ask, and you'll get a real number for your project.
