​
Cove Designs is owned and operated by Mark Damiano, engineer, carpenter, maker and artist. Mark has a BS in Business Management and a BS in Civil Engineering. He is a registered Professional Engineer and was formerly self employed as a structural engineer. He has worked extensively as a carpenter, structural engineer, in the building trades and more recently in the design, development, fabrication and assembly of prototype mechanical and electronic devices.
Ever since I was very young I have been fascinated with mechanical and electronic devices and with how things are built. I have been building all sorts of things, large and small, since that time. I am passionate about solving problems and creating functional and often unique devices, however, the creation of a mechanical device or structure, that can also double as artwork is the most satisfying. Each device or sculpture is designed completely in house using 3d design and other supporting software. Other in house activities include: Assembly and fabrication of laser cut, 3d printed and CNC cut metal and or wood parts, carpentry and woodworking, circuit and circuit board board design, circuit board prototype fabrication, production of project specific computer code for the microcontrollers and refrigeration system design, assembly and implementation.
​
Some builds may appear impractical but I try my best for each one to have some kind of "wow" factor when people see them. Every build, allows me to increase my knowledge of available technology and processes, such that future builds will be even better.
Some of the items on the website, are available for purchase and are exhibited on the products page. However, none of the items are mass produced, as they are typically created as custom projects / prototypes from the onset. Most of the items on the site, have been showcased in order to provide anyone interested in a custom fabrication or prototype, some understanding of my ability and prior experience. If you have an idea and are interested in the creation of a prototype device, would like to discuss the creation of a kinetic sculpture, prop or merely require the fabrication of unique item, device or 3d printed / laser cut part, or sub-assembly of a larger project, please contact me at sales@covedesigns.net, or fill out the contact form below. Thanks for stopping by, Mark.
