Meet the maker

My name is Skylar Ross, I am the founder of ODE. I’ve spent my whole life deep in the world of tech. I have over a decade of electronics repair experience and for five of those years, I owned and operated an electronics repair shop right here in Dundee. I’ve seen firsthand where design fails and where products could be better, stronger, and more functional.

The ODE Origin Story

In 2024, I sold my repair shop to focus on a new mission: moving from fixing the old to creating the new. Two years of learning and prototyping later, Original Design Engineering (ODE) Scotland was born.

What we do

We work directly with both businesses and consumers to create custom solutions to solve your problems. We do this primarily by utilizing CAD and 3D printing for rapid iteration and turn around. We can also incorperate electronics and other materials into our designs to suit your needs.

Whether It’s a modular display for your retail space, reverse-engineering a discontinued part, or a gift for a loved one, we build with a customer focused mindset, durability and utility.

Why it Matters for You

When we work together, you aren’t working with a large faceless company, you are working with me directly and as such receive my undivided attention. You’re also getting a decade of technical problem-solving experience and all of the skills I have picked up along the way.
