Glasshouse Speakers, Mighty Mini Monitors

Thanks for stopping by. I have a passion for engineering, electronics, woodworking and most areas of science. I just happen to be completely blind – though to defy a common misconception, despite a Penchant for machinery, I still have all eight fingers and both thumbs. Touch wood. Despite what a society led by charity campaigners and a broken social care system would have you believe, we’re normal, capable people with common interests.
I created this site as a portfolio and an outlet to share my work in engineering, woodwork and other creative endeavours. Blindness is just a USP – a physical aspect of my being that I am unfortunately stuck with, so I may as well use it to my advantage. I hope that the site can inspire, educate and break down barriers, kicking aside misconceptions and demonstrating that nothing is impossible.
