About me

A builder at the intersection of art and technology.

SIMAX — Simon Maxam. A creative studio where music, architecture, code, and storytelling come together to build immersive experiences.

Guitar is my main instrument — I play fingerstyle and lead worship as a volunteer musician at church, and it's the thread running through everything else I build, from web projects to the studio itself. Whether I'm on stage or at a keyboard, I'm always chasing the same thing: turning an idea into something you can actually step into.

Brilliant at

Producing a lot of work quickly, and getting a rough first version of almost anything in front of you.

Hopeless at

Knowing which of those versions is actually any good, and having the nerve to throw the rest away.

3D & Design

Development

Data & AI

Business

Explore. Generate. Refine. Scale.

The machine makes the options, we make the calls. In practice that works out to roughly 60 percent exploring, 20 building, 20 refining.

01Foundations

Where it started: learning the fundamentals in AutoCAD, drawing before I could build.

02Modeling

Moved into 3D — AutoCAD alongside Blender, learning to actually see and shape things in space.

03Engineering

Picked up Revit for real project work, then coding in Python to make the process my own.

04Professional

Now doing it for real: professional IT work, built on everything before it.

Strings & Stories

Learn a little guitar with me

Every dot below plays a real note — click through a chord shape, or tap the fretboard and hear it for yourself.

G major

Anchor your middle finger on the low E first — the rest of the shape falls into place around it.

Tip: try clicking fret 3 on the low E, then open on the A, D, and high e strings — that's the skeleton of the G major shape above.

How I think

Guiding principles

“The best projects come from bringing different disciplines together, not staying in one lane.”

Good to know

Frequently asked

Projects, tools, timelines, and how to get in touch.

Anything at the intersection of design and technology — interactive websites, game development in Unreal Engine, architectural visualization, and music/creative collaborations. If it combines a few disciplines, I'm probably interested.
