STEVE SKULTETY
The Creative Innovative Mind
The digital age is here and I have been helping innovators and inventors with the problem / solution based design process to plan and develop their creations using a variety of digital media. I provide the digital tools needed to further the design and engineering that may be required to finalize the product and to produce 3-D printed and C.N.C. models.
If you have an idea or creation inside your head that needs to be revealed on paper and revised to make exacting the size, shape, function and usage then I have the skill and talent to make it happen.
