SDR
CREATES
As a maker, I help others to build their projects and bring their ideas to life. I do this through my business, SDR Creates which offers services in Sculpting, Creative Fabrication and Costume Props with a new addition of 3D Printing & Scanning. With over fifteen years of experience as a multidisciplinary maker and sculptor, I have developed a broad skill set and an extensive understanding of materials, enabling me to cater to various clients and industries.
What
Sculpture involves modelling, carving and sculpting. Creative Fabrication encompasses prop making, model making, creatures, taxidermy, soft fabrication, creative construction and everything in between. Costume Props covers wearables, accessories and costumes, skills applied to my clothing label Xtraphi. 3D Printing & Scanning is a service offer in partnership with Solid Models who are specialists in the field.
How
I work directly with clients providing a service and managing all aspects of their projects, from design and fabrication to delivery. Depending on the scale, complexity and specialism required, I will collaborate with individual experts in their field or partner with my network of fabrication companies whose facilities and resources may better suit a specific project.
As a freelancer, I am hired by fabrication companies and the film industry to help them build their projects. Joining their crew and a team of makers, I problem-solve using skills and experience gained over my fifteen years as a maker.

SDR Creates’s Workshop is located in East London where most things are made including 3D printing and Artwork.
