Valerie is a London-based industrial & product designer helping companies turn physical product ideas into manufacturing-ready outcomes. Her work has helped clients secure funding, win awards, build complete product ranges and successfully manufacture products both locally and internationally.

Your product deserves more than a beautiful CAD model. It deserves a product people actually want to manufacture. Most industrial designers stop when the model looks good. I don’t. Every product I develop is designed around a single question: “If this were my own product, what would I change before spending thousands on prototypes and tooling?” That mindset changes everything. I specialize in industrial design, consumer product design, product development, CAD engineering, prototype development, and manufacturing-focused design for startups, inventors, and established companies building products that have to perform outside the computer screen. Because a great product isn’t created by adding fillets and nice renders. It’s created by solving dozens of engineering, manufacturing, usability, cost, assembly, ergonomics, and production challenges before they become expensive mistakes. Whether it’s a consumer electronic enclosure, medical device, sports equipment, wearable product, soft goods, packaging system, or mechanical consumer product, I design with the complete product lifecycle in mind—from concept through prototype and manufacturing. What I help clients build • Consumer Products • Consumer Electronics • Industrial Products • Wearables • Soft Goods • Plastic Injection Molded Parts • Mechanical Assemblies • Product Enclosures • Packaging Systems • Lifestyle Products • Sporting Equipment • Medical Devices ⸻ Services ✓ Industrial Design ✓ Product Design ✓ Product Development ✓ CAD Modeling ✓ Mechanical Design ✓ Consumer Product Design ✓ Prototype Development ✓ Design for Manufacturing (DFM) ✓ Reverse Engineering ✓ Injection Mold Design ✓ 3D Product Rendering ✓ Engineering Drawings ✓ Manufacturing Documentation ✓ STEP, STL, IGES & Native CAD Files ⸻ My workflow combines industrial design thinking with engineering logic. That means every decision considers: • User experience • Ergonomics • Assembly • Manufacturing methods • Material selection • Structural performance • Cost optimisation • Production scalability • Supplier feasibility Instead of waiting until the prototype fails to discover problems, I work to eliminate them during development. That saves time. It saves tooling changes. It saves expensive redesigns. Most importantly, it gives you greater confidence before committing to production. Whether you’re an inventor with a sketch on a napkin or a company preparing for manufacturing, I can help transform your idea into a product that’s engineered with purpose—not just modeled in CAD. If you’re looking for an Industrial Designer who understands the entire journey from concept to prototype to production, let’s build something exceptional.

Hi, I’m a Designer with 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial design and engineering. My focus is on real-world, manufacturable solutions. I work in SolidWorks and can deliver fully detailed CAD models, drawings, assemblies, and prototype-ready files. I understand materials, tolerances, production methods, and how things come together. Whether it’s a simple part or a complex mechanism, I’ll make sure the design is solid, practical, and ready for manufacturing. I’ve designed everything from consumer products and sports gear to mechanical systems and testing rigs. I’ll flag problems early, communicate clearly, and focus on designing something that’s actually buildable—not just good-looking on screen.
