Product Design/Industrial/Mechanical Engineer

I am a practicing industry professional Sr. Mechanical Engineer with my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and over 14 years of combined experience in 3D modeling and solid product design and development. I have a passion for design and helping develop innovative products that impress. I am always looking for projects that are ambitious, cutting edge, and allow me to flex my creativity as an artist. My capabilities include but are not limited to: - Product Design (hand sketches/design conceptualization) - 3D Modeling - 3D Renderings (Photo Realistic) - 2D Engineering Drawings (ASM Y14.5 Standard) - Tech Packs - Design Specification Drawings - Sheet Metal (3D Model and DXF Files with bends and cut lines) - Assembly Drawings with BOM (Bill of Materials) - 3D Simulation and Analysis (stress/strain/fluid flow/volumetric analysis/fatigue analysis/center of gravity/etc.) - Dynamic Motion Simulation - Consulting and Recommendations for Design for Manufacturability, Material Selection, and Manufacturing Methods - Design for Manufacturing - Injection Molding, CNC Machining, Forming, Casting, etc. - Mold Design The software that I use include: - Inventor - Fusion360 - AutoCAD - SolidWorks 2023 - Blender I have many years of experience in 3D design, 3D simulation testing, rapid prototyping, product development, and manufacturing that allow me to provide my clients with unique insights, recommendations, and expertise to help their projects succeed. I work primarily in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Autodesk Inventor and produce 2D engineering drawings in accordance with the latest ASME Y14.5 standards. In addition to my engineering experience, I have also been through the trenches with my own startup bringing my own original product designs from a simple idea to a full line of mass produced products brought to market. Having been a business owner myself, I am highly aquatinted with the level of quality, efficiency, and communication that is expected and necessary in this field. I have a proven track record designing and modeling products across a range of industries such as jewelry, mechanical tools, whistles, vehicles, fasteners, art sculptures, robotic assemblies, ventilation systems, kitchenware, physical therapy equipment, phone cases, waterproof enclosures, structural supports and much more. Whether it’s a single component or a complex multi-part assembly, there is no limit to what I can help you create. Because I respect the requests and intellectual property concerns of my client's, I am only able to showcase a limited amount of the projects I have done in my portfolio that have been approved by my clients. If you have any questions about types of projects I have worked on, please just ask! I work with all types of clients from grass roots startups with nothing but an idea in their heads and a dream, up to large scale corporations mass producing hundreds of consumer products a year. I have been fortunate enough to develop a community of amazing long term repeat clients and I am always looking to take on more clients into my network. I work well with clients that prioritize communication and understand the importance of transparency and setting realistic expectations for a project. If these values resonate with you, please reach out and I would love to talk with you about how I can help bring your vision to life!

"I am working on a highly complex 3d printing project which require multiple modifications while in the design phase Lauren was the best project designer I could have selected. She easily and willingly incorporated the necessary changes and helped make a good design even better, without additional cost. The now successful project is continuing and I will be hiring Lauren again. You cannot bet the beast. Thanks Lauren. "

"We elected to hire Lauren because she is very ambitious and intellectual. She has worked on multiple projects for us already in 2021, and we plan to continue working together for the foreseeable future. She has worked on projects from scratch, and others that were a work in progress where she made the final edits to complete them. I have been very pleased with her communication, work ethic, problem solving skills and overall ability to complete work well. Hiring her again is a no brainer!"
