Meet the team
Our friendly team love helping people with their projects.

Cesar Vargas-Tuerlings
Sessions Coordinator + Resident Maker
Cesar (pronounced say-za) has been a passionate maker all his life. He likes to think of himself as a jack of all trades; he has over eleven years of experience making (and breaking) things, and is always more than happy to help out.
Since long before he could remember, he’s been curious about how things work. This, of course, evolved into discovering for himself how things work, usually with the help of a screwdriver, a hammer, and a good set of pliers. This love of taking things apart and putting them back together has taken many forms over the last few years: winning the national EPro8 competition, making it to the finals in Vex Robotics, building replica props and costumes from movies and games, or spending far too long over-engineering solutions to very easy problems.
He’s been volunteering at Tinkd for almost as long as it’s been open. He can usually be found lurking near the 3D printers or the laser cutter, and always more than happy to talk about the space, the machines in it, and any of the (many) projects that he has going on.
He’s currently working on building a life-sized R2-D2 replica, so keep an eye out for that.

Andrew Parker
Volunteer Sessions Coordinator + Resident Maker
Andrew is a born maker and father of 3 boys.
He has a wide variety of skills and tries to be as helpful as possible. If you have a project you would like to discuss, pop in and see us. Remember. Ideas become things.

Steven Vincent
Founder – Tinkd
Steven is a Master Tinker and holds a black belt in bulk buying. He’s never too far away from Tinkd and is responsible for all the plants, tech, and small 3D printed tubs that scatter the space.

Tia Lush
Resident Maker
Tia loves working on multiple projects simultaneously. Her (current) favourite piece of equipment is the laser cutter. She’s holding out for a wet area so that she can experiment with screen-printing and ceramics and messy making.
