Freelance AutoCAD Designer & Drafter | Architectural & Commercial Projects I am a freelance AutoCAD designer and drafter with extensive experience producing clear, accurate, and construction-ready drawings for architectural, commercial, and industrial projects. My focus is on drafting execution—turning concepts, markups, and redlines into precise documents that are easy to build from. I work daily in AutoCAD and am highly proficient in scaled drawing production and full PaperSpace workflows, including title blocks, viewports, annotation scaling, x‑references, and disciplined layer standards. I deliver clean layouts, plans, elevations, sections, and details suitable for permitting, construction, and as-built documentation. My background includes long-term work within the engineering and construction industry, which gives me a strong understanding of design intent without approaching projects from an overly engineering‑heavy perspective. This allows me to support architects, contractors, developers, and consultants who need dependable drafting support without unnecessary complexity. I have experience supporting architectural and commercial spaces, including coordination of floor plans, layouts, and construction details, as well as working alongside teams using 3D models to ensure alignment between models and 2D drawings. One of my key strengths is construction experience. I have seen designs through installation and field execution, worked directly with construction teams, and updated drawings based on real-world conditions. I draft with constructability in mind—helping reduce RFIs, rework, and confusion in the field. Services Offered AutoCAD drafting for architectural & commercial projects Scaled plans, sections, elevations, and details PaperSpace setup & drawing standards Permit, construction, and as-built drawings 3D model coordination support Revisions, redlines, and overflow drafting support If you’re looking for a reliable freelance AutoCAD drafter who understands both design intent and construction reality, I’m ready to support your project efficiently and professionally.

I design draw and engineer almost anything with precision and accuracy. As a multi-talented perfectionist, I've been staring at a display device for over 30 years. I have worked on thousands of projects, from intricate machine parts to complex systems. Design, draw and build projects include processing equipment, control enclosures, power and distribution, platforms, process piping, signs and displays, trailers, electronics and schematics. I have 13 years of hands on experience in the metal fabrication and machine shop environment. Using a Proactive process with a scheduled Implementation makes for a profitable product, reducing waste, rework or delays. In metal fabrication, it all begins with a design concept. Materials selection takes us to a cut list, shear, saw, punch, laser, form, weld, fasteners and finish. I work with AutoCAD, Solidworks, Coreldraw, and MS Office applications to create 2D and 3D documentation, adding assembly details and bills of materials. Many of my projects are confidential for the Nuclear Industry and other patented processes. My goal is your complete satisfaction.

I am a senior lighting designer specializing in AGi32-based lighting design, photometric calculations, daylighting analysis, and PAR lighting studies for industrial, infrastructure, commercial, architectural, and specialty lighting applications. Over the past 9+ years, I have delivered production-ready lighting models for real-world installations—many of which are now operating 24/7 in mining sites, processing plants, ports, yards, car parks, streets, and buildings across Australia, North America, and international markets. My work goes beyond “running calculations.” I routinely: • Build accurate AGi32 models from minimal or imperfect information • Interpret and apply IES, AS/NZS, and project-specific standards • Optimize luminaire placement, mounting geometry, spacing, and optics • Deliver clear, defensible reports suitable for engineers, authorities, and clients I have worked long-term with LED manufacturers, consultants, and engineering teams, supporting everything from concept studies to compliance submissions and value-engineered revisions. If you need someone who understands how lighting performs in the field—not just on screen, I bring that experience to every project. Message with your DWG/PDF + code reqs for free scope review.
