I started Coda Marine for two reasons: first, my lifelong passion for boat and ship design sparked an interest in 3D marine design. Second, I recognized a growing need for accurate 3D modeling in the marine industry. Thus, I created a company to provide professional design support for Naval Architects and shipyards on an affordable, contracted basis, leveraging my years of experience in marine design.
I received a Bachelor of Science in 1993 from Purdue University in Mechanical Engineering Technology, with a minor in Technical Graphics. I started my design career working in the Seattle area with companies such as Kvichak Marine and Elliott Bay Design Group. I have worked on a variety of projects, from designing small aluminum crafts, to production design of barges and ferries.
I truly enjoy the challenges of marine design and I would welcome the opportunity to assist you in achieving your design and construction goals.
Sincerely,
John Farmer
