Our Story

Engineering experience
you can actually talk to

Grand Designs launched in April 2026 after a company-wide layoff opened an unexpected door. Rather than search for another seat at someone else’s table, Myles built his own — guided by faith and built on nine years of real engineering experience.

Every file Grand Designs delivers carries that floor-level knowledge: tolerances that can actually be held, prints oriented for strength, fixtures designed for the way people really work.

Faith-Driven

Honest timelines, honest pricing, honest work — no shortcuts.

Craftsman Standard

Each deliverable measured against the best work we’ve done.

Client Ownership

Your IP is yours. Never shared, resold, or reproduced.

Honest Marketing

Trust earned through demonstrated work, not inflated claims.

Engineering workshop

Real tools, real experience — Grand Designs brings shop-floor knowledge to every design.

Career Timeline

Experience that compounds

Every role added a layer. The shop floor taught DFM. GM taught scale. DYNA taught the full product lifecycle.

What Makes Us Different

Not your average CAD shop

Four things you won’t easily find bundled into one solo studio.

01

DFM by Default

Tolerances, materials, and print orientation considered before the file ships.

02

Full-Stack Capability

CAD, print, render, illustration, and PLM data under one roof.

03

Location-Independent

Files ship anywhere; prints ship Michigan-wide; pickup in Lapeer/Davison.

04

Faith-Anchored Ethics

No inflated hours, no hidden fees, no reselling your IP. Ever.

Let’s build something together

Whether you’re a Fortune 500 manufacturer or a backyard inventor, you get the same level of care.
