I am an Industrial Designer specializing in transforming product ideas into manufacturable, production ready designs. I focus on developing functional, visually compelling products that balance user needs, engineering requirements, and real world manufacturing constraints. My experience spans the full product development process, including concept sketching, 3D modeling, design refinement, and preparing products for prototyping and production. I work across a wide range of product categories, adapting quickly to different industries, design challenges, and client goals. I am passionate about bridging the gap between idea and execution, helping clients turn rough concepts into clear, thoughtful designs that are ready for the next stage of development. Skills include: • Concept Development & Sketching • 3D Modeling & Product Design • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Product Visualization & Rendering • End to End Product Development

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.

You have a product idea, a concept that needs to work in the real world, or a design that needs to look compelling before it reaches the market. The gap between that idea and a manufacturable, market-ready reality? That's exactly where I come in. I'm a 3D Product & Industrial Designer with deep expertise in CAD modeling, prototype design, and manufacturing-ready file preparation. I work with inventors, startups, and product companies to take concepts from sketch to production, delivering precise, functional designs built for the real world. Clients come to me for: 🔹 Prototype & Product Design — I create accurate 3D CAD models optimized for manufacturing, 3D printing, and prototyping using SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, and Onshape. Whether you need a consumer product, industrial equipment, electronics enclosure, or furniture design, I model it with manufacturing feasibility in mind. 🔹 Manufacturing Ready Files & Technical Drawings — I deliver complete engineering documentation, including STEP, STL, IGES, and DXF files, assembly drawings, exploded views, GD&T technical drawings, CNC machining files, and patent drawings. Everything your manufacturer needs to move forward without guesswork. 🔹 Product Visualization & Rendering — I produce photorealistic product renders, 3D product animations, and CGI visuals that communicate your design's value. Ideal for crowdfunding campaigns, investor pitches, e-commerce listings, and marketing. What sets me apart is that I don't just model. I think about design for manufacturing (DFM), material tolerances, assembly logic, and production cost from day one. That means fewer revision cycles, fewer surprises at the factory, and a faster path from concept to reality. Industries I've worked across include consumer products, medical devices, automotive components, aerospace parts, PCB enclosures, and furniture. If you're ready to move your idea forward with a designer who takes your product as seriously as you do, let's talk.

Creative projects don’t fail because of bad ideas; they fail because of misalignment, unclear direction, and broken workflows. I help brands and creative teams bring structure to execution, managing projects from concept to final delivery while keeping timelines clear, teams aligned, and quality consistent. I specialize in managing branding, packaging, and marketing projects, ensuring timelines are clear, feedback is structured, and teams stay aligned at every stage. With a background in industrial design and graphic design, I understand how creative work actually gets made; which allows me to bridge the gap between creative teams and business goals. I can support you with: · Project planning and timeline setup · Creative briefing and scope definition · Managing designers and cross-functional teams · Client communication and feedback cycles · Packaging and production coordination · Keeping projects on track and on time I work with tools like Asana, Notion, Trello, and Figma, and use AI to streamline workflows and improve clarity. If you need someone to bring clarity, structure, and momentum to your project, send me a message; I’ll help you get it moving in the right direction.
