Miles Menely is a Portland-based maker, designer, and filmmaker who’s been building things for as long as he can remember — literally. His work sits somewhere between woodworking, engineering, and cinema and often feels equal parts functional and slightly impossible.

Known for his sketch-to-final reveals, thoughtful craftsmanship, and obsession with process, Miles creates content for the kind of people who pause videos to figure out how something was made. His audience comes for the builds, but stays for the perspective: curiosity-driven creativity, intentional design, and the belief that making things by hand is still one of the coolest things you can do.
