Our Background

Derek Uhlman

I began my career in the jewelry industry and then focused on Industrial Design.  I then transitioned into the fine art world as a sculptor, primarily in stone and bronze.  I served as an assistant with two master sculptors, Reuben Nakian, and Ivan Biro for six years before entering my career in 1982 with a commission from Kraft/General Foods Corporation for one of my sculptures enlarged in 37,000 pounds of marble.  I have been working in fine art and design ever since.  I am passionate about materials and processes and became interested in 3D CAD twenty-five years ago working with Alias software on a Silicon Graphics machine.  I now use RhinoCAD to complement my design process and 3D advanced fabrication for design refinement and development.  My team and affiliates are experts in the design and fabrication fields and I have worked with them for many years.
