We design all types of products. We have experience in all phases of design, creation and installation whether building a partition wall, a mechanical component, lighting etc. Projects can start at any stage, a classic napkin sketch, an inspiration image or even just an idea. We springboard that idea into fully flushed out concepts and create an exact working model of your design. Freehand uses cutting edge software to analyze all aspects of a design and can answer any open questions.  We produce shop drawings and a production package ready for us and our vendors to build a high quality product.

DESIGN ›

Freehand uses a mix of traditional techniques with new technologies to fabricate a product that meets every customers needs. We take a manufacturers approach but have the diversity of a job shop to produce products that have the precision of an OEM and the character of a blacksmith. Each product is made with intent. We approach every project thinking about technique first. We use manual tools when needed and CNC when appropriate. We know when to be precise and know when to work quickly to complete the work one time, within budget and to the quality desired.
