Co-founder, architect
Alexander is a co-founder of CarpDraw and a practising architect. He prepares technical drawings for his own projects, so he runs into the same problem every week: turning a furniture idea or a reference photo into drawings and specifications a maker can actually build from. CarpDraw is the tool he wanted for that work, and he writes here about drawings, dimensions and getting furniture from idea to build.
