EXACTONAUT
stellar craft, precision delivery
Hello World.
My name is Robert Petty, and Exactonaut is my brand. It’s rooted in decades of experience in design and fabrication. I emerged into the Bay Area's thriving design, tech, and art scene in the 1990s and then hit my stride in Portland, Oregon, where I collaborated with renowned designers, artists, and musicians to bring their visions to life.
For over 20 years, I grew and directed a bespoke modeling and fabrication department at ZGF Architects, where my team designed and produced a wide range of built environments, from scale models and fine art to industrially crafted spaces and functional artifacts. My portfolio is anchored by works that balance beauty, function and lasting craft.
Exactonaut is my next chapter - Launched in 2025, Exactonaut is a studio node for creative production that interweaves Portland’s rich ecosystem of resource and know-how to deliver exceptional projects. My studio offers a nimble and effective set of design and production services, always executed with creative precision.
My team is your team. Let’s build together.
