Mechanical Design Engineer | SolidWorks | Product Development | DFM
I help companies turn ideas into production-ready mechanical products that are designed to be manufactured—not just modeled.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer and owner of a manufacturing company, I combine engineering expertise with hands-on manufacturing experience. Every design is created with CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, injection molding, assembly, and production costs in mind.
Services
✔ Product Development
From concept sketches to production-ready CAD, I develop functional, reliable, and manufacturable products.
✔ Machine & Equipment Design
Industrial machinery, special-purpose machines, fixtures, jigs, welded structures, and mechanical assemblies.
✔ Plastic Part & Mold Design
Injection-molded plastic parts, mold design, DFM reviews, snap-fits, ribs, bosses, draft analysis, and tooling support.
✔ Sheet Metal & Weldments
Production-ready sheet metal parts, welded frames, enclosures, flat patterns, cut lists, and fabrication drawings.
✔ CNC & Manufacturing Design
Design optimized for machining, laser cutting, bending, welding, and assembly to reduce manufacturing costs and improve quality.
✔ Technical Drawings & GD&T
Clear manufacturing drawings with GD&T, BOMs, exploded views, and complete documentation.
✔ Reverse Engineering
Convert sketches, PDFs, scans, or existing products into accurate CAD models and manufacturing documentation.

I am a Custom Furniture & Interior Designer specialized in creating production-ready designs — not just nice visuals, but furniture and interiors that can be built without guesswork.
I work with architects, interior studios, furniture manufacturers, and private clients who need:
• custom furniture solutions
• accurate technical drawings
• high-quality 3D renders for presentation and approval
My process covers the full workflow:
from concept and space planning → to 3D visualization → to detailed shop drawings with materials, dimensions, and construction details.
Whether it’s a kitchen, wardrobe, retail interior, office, or residential space, I focus on designs that are:
• functional
• aesthetically clean
• optimized for real-world production
If you already have sketches, floor plans, or ideas, I turn them into a clear, buildable project that saves time, avoids mistakes, and helps your team move straight to manufacturing.
