    “To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.” ― Unknown I view the world in exploded views and how it was designed for functionality. I specialize in bringing your concepts to reality. My professional career began as an Applications Engineer where I learned to MIG weld; program a 3-axis Haas CNC, turn chips on a manual lathe/mill, and think outside the box to create custom automation that tailored to the plastic mold injection industry, typically involving medical devices. Through the use of parametric drafting my ideas came to life involving robotics, inspection vision systems, and pneumatic driven assemblies which became my solutions for customer needs. Problem solving became the foundation I built my career on. I have been a proficient SolidWorks designer since 2009. I have received a SolidWorks Expert Mechanical Design Certification along with the advanced sheet metal, sustainable design, simulation, drawing tools, weldments, surfacing and drawing tools certifications. I acquired my drafting and design degree from ITT Technical Institute in Orange California Dec. 2012. I have 10+ years of experience with System and Component level design, layout and documentation, which includes but is not limited to Automated Machine design, Welded structures, Vacuum Chambers, Electro-Optical design, Sheet Metal, Medical Device design, and Plastic Part design and surfacing. I have worked in a wide variety of manufacturing industries supplying solutions for their Engineering teams. I am currently a Mechanical Engineer for a Robotics manufacturer. Prior to robotics I worked as a process improvement engineer for a composite material manufacturer. Previous to that I was a Design Drafter II at Fender Musical Instrument Corporation as a part of the Research and Development team. My first engineering opportunities took place as a mechanical designer for a Cryogenic Pump and Turbo Expander Manufacturing company utilizing my SolidWorks and AutoCAD capabilities to design skid piping layouts and turbo-expander blades. As of recent I have completed two advanced 3D modeling courses at Irvine Valley College which entail new methods of rapid prototyping and manufacturing. I decided dive deep on how and where all of these parts I was designing were created. I wanted to know more about what went into manufacturing and the complications involved with poor designs. I completed a beginning and advanced MasterCam CNC Programming course along with an Advanced CNC 5-axis setup/operation course to better my knowledge of how products should be designed for not only easier manufacturing and assembly but also a longer life cycle. I have designed for a variety of manufacturing methods including 3D printing, CNC lathe and mill, laser cutting, vacuum forming, sheet metal, and welded structures. I believe design for manufacturability starts at the conceptual design phase. Small changes in the initial design can have large effects in the final cost of a product. I have deep understanding of most manufacturing processes, and leverage that knowledge to simplify designs whenever possible. Proficient in the following Software: -SolidWorks -AutoDesk Inventor -AutoDesk AutoCAD -MasterCAM -Adobe Photoshop -Adobe Illustrator

    🏆Sold over $1M of my own product. Own 10+ patents all over the world. Been there, done that. 📐10+ years of developing products, for Amazon, B2B, retail, and Kickstarters. 💲Commercialized products from silicone toys, high-end electronics, to robotics automation. 🏭Worked with 60+ factories across the industry in Asia and the U.S. & understands the ins-and-outs of mass manufacturing processes and quality control. 🧪Familiar with various materials: silicone rubber, plastics, metal, EVA, foam, wood, fabric, glasses, PCBs, batteries, glass fiber, carbon fiber, granite, and optical lenses, etc 🛠️Experienced in rapid prototyping techniques (3D printing, CNC laser cutting, factory sampling, etc) 🚧Why choose me to work with you as a product designer?🚧 🔺Want to launch succesful products on Amazon, but need as much help as you can get? 🔺Are you worried about having to keep hiring different people for different phases of the product development cycle (design, prototyping, sourcing, sampling, DVT, EVT, PVT, quality control, MP)? 🔺Do you feel overwhelmed by the whole process from an idea to delivering a finished product to the customer's doorstep? 🔺Do you dream of designing a product with the input from the end manufacturer? So that when you finish designing, you know exactly who, when, where, and how you are going to make your product. 🔺Are you worried about intellectual property protection? I am an experienced product designer. I can walk a client from the initial product formulation stage, to the prototyping stage, and all the way through supply chain management, and mass production stage if necessary, essentially the whole product cycle. I think in many dimensions - cost, durability, ease of manufacturing, ease of prototyping, material availability, aesthetics, ease of use, etc. My work style: 1. After the initial call, I will provide a quick proposal with estimated time based on the client's needs. Regular communication is a must for successful product design. Project deliverables must be clear from the beginning to ensure smooth collaboration. 2. Product design cannot just stay on paper. I can 100% guarantee manufacturability, and make actual functional prototypes of my design for you as project deliverables. Rapid prototyping, fast iterations and constant testing are the key to product success. 3. I am easy to work with, highly diligent, extremely detail oriented, and love what I do. I'd like to work with people who appreciate my efforts, and I will work extra hard for them as well. I do not work with people who are always looking to get the cheapest deal and cut corners.

    I've been a machinist for 20 years, and have done 3d modeling both from scratch and to adjust for manufacturing processes for 15 - specifically for milling and turning operations. I have a knack for minimizing production time (an absolute necessity when competing as an independent manufacturer) at the initial stage of design, and I understand on a instinctual level both the capabilities and limits of both milling and turning. I do have experience with sheetmetal and folded sheetmetal designs as well, and work often with sheetmetal fabricators. While I understand this process at a lower resolution than milling and turning, I'm sure you'll find my work satisfactory. About me: I have a background in manufacturing, owning a small manufacturing/job shop business running three CNC machines. In the course of owning this business I have continued to accrue skills in various related fields, especially those of product design and sourcing manufacturing for jobs I'm not equipped for or are simply too large for me to complete. I have been creating 3D art since I was 15 when my father brought home a copy of 3D Studio. When I finally settled into manufacturing, I became enthralled with the mesh of creativity and production that CADCAM software provided, and I've been working in this field ever since.
