About Us

Designing with Purpose. Building with Soul.

AGC Designs (Amber Glade Creations) is a Brisbane-based industrial design studio dedicated to creating thoughtful, beautifully engineered products. From custom lighting to advanced prototypes and concept development, we help ideas take shape through craftsmanship, empathy, and innovative thinking.

Our Story

AGC was born from a passion for solving real problems with smart, human-centred design. After two decades in hospitality and five years in transport, Timothy shifted his focus toward creating functional objects that also connect emotionally with the people who use them.

With the support of his partner, Teegan Drury, the studio evolved into a space where creativity, engineering, and storytelling meet. What began as a love for 3D printing and reclaimed materials has grown into a full service design studio with a mission to make meaningful design accessible to everyone.

Timothy Jon Drury
Founder / Lead Industrial Designer

Timothy Jon Drury

Timothy is the creative force behind AGC Designs. With a background in industrial design, prototyping, and hands-on fabrication, he brings ideas to life through thoughtful engineering and emotional, human-centred design. From concept development and CAD modelling to 3D printing, CNC machining, and product refinement, Timothy leads every project with purpose and craftsmanship. His decade in hospitality and several years in transport and logistics play a significant role in the way he designs. Hospitality taught him how people interact with objects, environments, and each other — shaping his focus on usability, comfort, and experience. Logistics gave him a deep understanding of systems, workflows, and real-world constraints, influencing how he plans, builds, and delivers products with efficiency and intention. A passionate traveller and lover of culture, Timothy draws inspiration from the textures, materials, and stories found in the diverse places he has explored. These influences blend into his design language, adding depth, warmth, and humanity to the products AGC creates. His approach is grounded in empathy and innovation — a belief reflected in his studio motto: “If design forgets feeling, we lose trust.” This philosophy shapes the way AGC creates lighting, home décor, assistive devices, and custom products for clients across Australia and beyond.
