Founded by a maker, built for makers.
I'm Spike, and I run Spike TM, a 3D-printing and fabrication studio built on years of hands-on making. Before starting my own practice, I worked across workshops including Tom Cecil Studio and Plykea, where I developed a deep respect for precision, materials, and problem-solving.
Alongside fabrication, I come from a graphic design background, which shapes how I approach form, clarity, and visual communication. I've worked with clients such as Nicoletti Contemporary, Frieze Art Fair, and artist Gray Wielebinski, supporting projects that span sculpture, installation, and exhibition production.
Today, I bring all of that experience into my 3D-printing work, offering artists and designers reliable, collaborative fabrication with a focus on detail, communication, and thoughtful making.

Everything, made in-house
Every piece is printed, finished and checked by hand in our studio in South London. We run a range of printers and processes under one roof, so a project can go from first model to finished object without leaving the building.
