I'm a product designer specializing in lighting, jewelry, furniture, and consumer products — with real-world experience taking projects from initial concept to factory sampling to store shelves. I work primarily in Fusion 360, creating production-ready 3D CAD models optimized for manufacturing (casting, molding, machining, and 3D printing). I also design packaging and printed materials, delivering clean, print-ready files when needed. My strengths include: Lighting and furniture design — structural CAD, material detailing, manufacturing specifications. Jewelry design — high-precision modeling for casting and production. Product design — developing accessories, home goods, and hardware with a focus on real-world use and manufacturability. Production support — communicating with factories, adapting designs for samples, prototyping, and mass production. I’ve worked on projects that moved beyond the prototype stage into factory sampling and full production, giving me a deep understanding of what it really takes to get a product market-ready — not just modeled on a screen. If you need a designer who can combine creativity, engineering sense, and real-world manufacturing experience, I’m ready to help bring your ideas to life. Let’s make something that lasts.
