I’m an Exhibit CAD Designer / Project Engineer specializing in trade show exhibits, experiential environments, scenic builds, and fabrication-ready production drawings. With 5 years in the exhibit and event industry and 10 years of CAD/engineering-related experience, I help clients turn concepts, sketches, floor plans, and design direction into clear, buildable documentation for fabrication and installation. My work focuses on the production side of design: booth layouts, 3D models, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, construction details, BOMs, assembly documentation, and installation-ready drawing packages. I understand how exhibits are actually built, revised, packed, shipped, and installed, so my drawings are created with fabricators, vendors, and field teams in mind. I can support projects with: * Trade show booth layouts and floor plans * Exhibit fabrication drawings and shop drawings * 3D modeling and design development * Scenic and experiential event documentation * Elevations, sections, details, and assembly drawings * Millwork, metal, acrylic, graphics, and modular exhibit detailing * Monitor walls, AV integration, truss, lighting, and technology coordination * BOMs, component planning, and production packages * Installation-focused documentation for field teams My background includes custom exhibits, branded environments, scenic fabrication, modular exhibit systems, vendor coordination, and production support. I’m comfortable working with project managers, designers, account teams, fabrication shops, AV vendors, logistics teams, and installers to keep a project moving from concept through execution. My primary tools include AutoCAD and Vectorworks, along with fabrication and production documentation workflows used for exhibit and event production. What I bring is more than CAD drafting. I bring real exhibit production knowledge, strong spatial understanding, and the ability to create drawings that are not just visually clear, but practical, buildable, and ready for the shop floor. If you need help turning an exhibit, event, or branded environment concept into clean, production-ready documentation, I’d be happy to help.

I’m a senior textile and apparel designer with 20+ seasons of experience creating retail-ready prints, garment silhouettes, and production-level CADs for both home textiles and women’s apparel. I specialize in delivering final-quality, factory-ready design assets with zero onboarding curve — the kind of work that moves straight into sampling and production. I design both surface and silhouette, producing print systems, garment bodies, CAD flats, and tech-ready files for sourcing and vendor teams. I’ve supported big-box retailers, elevated lifestyle brands, and lean DTC/Amazon startups, adapting seamlessly to their workflows and calendar pressure. Most clients hire me for: • Textile & surface design for apparel + home (repeat, placement, engineered layouts) • Apparel body/silhouette design — CAD flats, concept-to-production development • Full design execution — concept → artwork → CADs → tech packs → factory alignment • Fast, clean, “right-first-time” delivery — no revisions wasted on preventable mistakes Clients describe me as a calm, senior execution partner — someone who solves problems early, moves quickly, and delivers professionally structured work that teams can act on immediately. If you need a trusted expert who can fully own design execution — not just artwork — I’m ready to step in.
