I bring 25 years of experience designing a wide range of consumer hard goods. I am highly proficient across the entire product development lifecycle, including design for manufacturing, and can support projects at any stage—from concept through production. While I specialize in outdoor products, I also have extensive experience designing for a broad range of industries. I am equally comfortable contributing to a full project or providing targeted support for specific phases as needed.
I possess strong, efficient 3D modeling capabilities and am regarded by my peers as an expert in advanced surface modeling using SolidWorks. I also use KeyShot Studio to produce high-quality, photorealistic renderings that support design reviews and enhance marketing efforts.
My manufacturing expertise includes designing for injection molding, die casting, investment casting, formed sheet metal, and CNC-machined components.

I am a 3D designer with immense knowledge of manufacturing techniques. I design parts that are often used in professional and manufacturing environments. Whether it be a jig to help your business do repetitive tasks easier or designing a product that will go to market; I have a crossover of skills that make me very effective.
Here are some of my key proficiency's:
- 3D Modeling (Freeform)
- 3D Modeling (Parametric)
- 3D Rendering
- 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing
- Manufacturing Drawings and Specifications
- CAM Programming
- Design for Manufacturing Process (DFM)
About me:
I went to university studying how to implement engineering techniques in the world of design. I often spent time outside of class designing and creating things out of the comfort of my home, where I own many specialized equipment that allow me to get most jobs done. 3D printing is a hobby of mine and I understand the complexities that go into designing parts for additive manufacturing. Subtractive manufacturing is another area I enjoy; designing parts to be as easy and cheap to machine or otherwise fabricate is something that excites me. I have an immense network of manufacturing facilities that can get you extremely competitive pricing and quality workmanship.
