JAMIE STARLING
I’m a career designer driven by curiosity and problem-solving. In recent years, I‘ve focused my attention on the building industry as an Architectural REVIT Technician. I’ve had the opportunity to work at highly regarded boutique residential design studios, such as Thomas Archer in Melbourne and Adam Hobill Design in Canberra.
Additionally, I’ve worked in the signage manufacturing industry, where I was integrally involved in the production of airport promotions for international liquor and perfume brands, as well as national retail signage rollouts and exhibition design.

Human Qualities
I thrive in a multi-disciplinary team environment.
I’m hard working, focused, invested, an active listener, empathetic and respectful, I act with integrity and have an awareness of myself and others, I’m emotionally intellegent, adaptable and community minded.
Machine Operation
Experience in operating MultiCAM and Robot Systems CNC Routers, Koenig Laser, 3D Printing, Roland CAMM-1 Pro plotter and various large format latex and solvent printers. I’m currently working with Nakamura and Okuma CNC lathes.
Rolls and Responsibities
Produce detailed shop drawings, including 3D renderings from client supplied project briefs for approval and internal manufacturing.
Close collaboration with internal team members, suppliers to ensure the optimal outcome for the final delivered product.
Create CAD and vector files for in-house manufacturing and out-sourced components.
Reflections and acheivements
I thoroughly enjoyed the in-house production environment, where I could collaborate with co-workers on pre-production workshopping, problem-solving and refining project fabrication and finishes before and during production. I also jumped on any opportunity to be hands-on with manufacturing whenever possible.
Taking on the additional role of CNC operations during a transitional staffing phase, despite no prior experience, and subsequently re-building the workflow from ground-up and facilitated the onboarding of a replacement team member.
Working closely with the production manager to develop efficient manufacturing solutions for complex and time-sensitive projects, aiming to optimise both time and cost factors.
