I specialize in car wrap designs for both small businesses and large corporations. I have designed car wraps for about 7 years now and have had hundreds of satisfied customers. I work with the client and guide them during the process to make sure their ideas come to life. A car wrap is an excellent advertisement that will be seen on streets, neighborhoods, and highways. Having a clean design with only essential information and graphics will draw in customers and stand out on social media. I have wrapped all kinds of vehicles and objects like: • Cars • Vans • Boats • Food Trucks • Box Trucks • Golf Charts • Helmets / Doc Bands • Surfboards • A casket (for a club) If you are interested in standing out from your competitors, contact me for a professionally designed car wrap.

Hey! Thanks for checking out my profile. I specialize in taking ideas from sketch → 3D CAD → functional prototype → manufacturing-ready files. My work focuses on clean mechanics, tight tolerances, and real-world durability—whether you need a simple accessory or a highly functional mechanical part. Using Fusion 360, I create precise, parametric CAD models that are easy to revise, scale, and hand off to manufacturers. I also prototype in-house on my 3D printer to ensure proper fit, tolerance, and assembly before you commit to production. What I Do • 3D CAD Modeling (Fusion 360 / STEP / STL / OBJ) • Reverse engineering + recreating OEM/aftermarket parts • Mechanical + functional design • Prototyping + 3D print-ready files • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for CNC machining + injection molding • Product visualization + photo-real renders Typical Projects • Consumer product design (bottles, accessories, small hardware) • Functional mechanisms (hinges, latches, magnetic assemblies) • CNC-ready motorcycle/automotive parts • Parts replicated from sketches, photos, or 3D scans • Custom housings, enclosures, brackets, plates, and assemblies How I Work • Fast communication, clear expectations, and incremental updates • Practical, manufacturing-minded design — no unnecessary complexity • Quick turnaround with high quality • Files delivered in the exact formats your machine shop needs If you have a rough sketch, a hand-drawn idea, a damaged part, or a vision in your head, I’d love to help bring it to life. Let’s build something real.
