JAKE HORSEY

As a designer and fabricator, I aim to craft objects that are scientific in nature and balanced in physical form.

My work at Cofab is centered on product engineering and new technology development. I collaborate with subject matter experts to transform their ideas into functional systems that can be handed to users.

My work at home consists of designing and building hand tools, restoring old equipment, and teaching fabrication techniques. My focus is on learning new materials, exploring form, and understanding history.

December 2024: I’m currently based in Sargentville, ME, building out a workshop at home. Professionally, I am a founding partner at Cofab Design, headquartered in Holyoke, MA, at Brick Coworkshop, and serve as the COO of Open Standard Industries, Inc.

I update this site once a year with new projects and background on my work. Reach out at the bottom of the page if something catches your eye or just to generally start a conversation.
