Dear world, my eldest daughter is living in central west new south wales and is looking for work.

She is an experienced draft person, knows her way around autocad, inventor and is familiar with tools like Blender.

She also has fabrication experience using things like laser cutters and CNC devices.

She can work remotely and is eager to start.

Any pointers would be most welcome.
