Upesh’s expertise spans product design, process improvement, and financial oversight, making him a key player in managing and delivering projects on time and within budget.

We have MOVED!

Procreate has moved to a larger premise which allows us to better serve our clients. We have more room to swing a cat plus the added benefit of a bigger Design Studio, the ability to fit more 3D Printing and Prototyping equipment on site and warehousing.

The likes of Orikan and numerous other technology clients will see benefit in our offering being able to better facilitate Testing, Production, Quality Assurance and Design Support onsite. It's also special that after many years working with long term customers like TrailLite - we can finally fit one of their beautiful Motorhomes inside as well.

We're stoked and we'd love you to come by for a look around and a coffee from the famous Procreate Rocket machine.
