Good mechanical design doesn't end with a finished CAD model. It starts with how the part will actually be made. I design production-ready parts, assemblies and technical drawings with DFM, CNC machining, tolerances and real-world manufacturing in mind. Feel free to contact me.
ABOUT ME:
I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer with over 16 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, CNC machining, and manufacturing. I create production-ready parts, assemblies, mechanisms, and technical drawings for real-world manufacturing.
I hold a mechanical engineering degree and operate a family-run CNC workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine, where I design, prototype, machine, assemble, and validate functional mechanical parts and assemblies. This practical manufacturing experience helps me make engineering decisions based not only on CAD geometry, but also on tooling access, tolerances, assembly requirements, material selection, production costs, and long-term reliability.
My background combines Mechanical Design, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), CNC programming, reverse engineering, prototyping, technical documentation, GD&T, fits and tolerances, and production optimization. I work primarily in Fusion 360 for both design and manufacturing workflows.
I understand the full product development cycle: engineering design, prototyping, testing, BOM creation, technical documentation, manufacturing planning, and cost-effective production.
I design and build real, functional products — and apply that mindset to every engineering challenge.
Whether you need a single manufacturing drawing, a production-ready CAD model, a mechanical assembly, a manufacturable redesign, or ongoing engineering support, I focus on delivering practical, reliable, and manufacturing-ready solutions.
I value long-term collaborations, but I’m also available for focused standalone tasks such as mechanical design, production drawings, reverse engineering, and manufacturing documentation.
WHAT I OFFER:
I specialize in manufacturing-ready mechanical design, functional assemblies, production drawings, and engineering support, including:
✅ Mechanical Design of parts, assemblies, and mechanisms.
✅ Production-ready CAD models and technical drawings for CNC machining, fabrication, and manufacturing.
✅ Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to improve manufacturability, reduce production costs, and simplify assembly.
✅ GD&T, fits, tolerances, and engineering documentation for reliable production and assembly.
✅ Reverse Engineering of existing parts, products, and assemblies.
✅ Manufacturing support, CNC-oriented design, tooling, fixturing, and production optimization.
✅ Prototyping and product development support from concept through production.
✅ Long-term engineering collaboration for manufacturers, startups, and product development teams.
Final Deliverables May Include:
● Production-ready 3D CAD models (Fusion 360 source files, .f3d, .f3z, .STEP, .IGES, .STL, .OBJ, and other required formats).
● Manufacturing drawings, production drawings, assembly drawings, fabrication drawings, and technical documentation prepared for CNC machining, fabrication, assembly, and production.
● Engineering drawings with GD&T, fits and tolerances, surface finish requirements, technical notes, section views, exploded views, and detailed manufacturing annotations.
● Bills of Materials (BOMs), assembly documentation, manufacturing documentation, production documentation, and sourcing-ready deliverables.
● CAM-ready geometry, Fusion 360 CAM files, CNC milling toolpaths, and manufacturing-ready solid models or surface geometry.
● Deliverables prepared for prototyping, supplier communication, manufacturing, inspection, assembly, and production workflows.

My Work Ethic
I take responsibility for deadlines, communication, and the outcome
I value long-term collaboration over one-time gigs
I communicate clearly about feasibility and don’t overpromise
I provide clear technical reasoning, not just opinions
I start working promptly and keep clients informed
I aim to build lasting relationships with professionals who value quality
Most of my work is protected under NDAs, so my public portfolio is limited. If you'd like to know more or see relevant examples, feel free to contact me — I’m always open to collaboration.

Hello! I am a furniture constructor specializing in the development of custom and built-in furniture with a strong focus on technical accuracy and real-world production requirements.
I create well-engineered solutions that are ready for implementation: every model takes into account real materials, hardware, technical clearances, and assembly specifics. This approach helps prevent production errors and streamlines the manufacturing process.
What I can do for you:
Furniture design (kitchens, wardrobes, walk-in closets, bathroom units, storage systems, etc.)
Final 3D model in SketchUp with all necessary technical clearances and construction details
Preparation of technical drawings
3D visualization for a clear understanding of the final product
Refinement and adaptation of existing projects

Web design, development, and brand identity for established companies and enterprise teams. We design in Figma, build in Webflow or custom React/Next.js, and create the brand systems that make the sites work. Top 1% Expert-Vetted on Upwork since 2015.
We specialize in:
► Website redesigns & rebuilds for established brands
► Brand identity systems (logos, guidelines, collateral)
► Custom web development in React / Next.js
► Landing pages, design systems, SaaS product UI
► WordPress (and other CMS) to Webflow migrations (or to Sanity/Payload)
► Ecommerce design and build (Webflow, Shopify, custom Medusajs)
Most of our clients are established SMBs refreshing aging websites and outdated visual identities, plus enterprise teams that need a senior partner who can handle scope without the overhead of a traditional agency. We're selective - we take on work where we can genuinely move the needle on brand perception and conversion, not volume jobs.
Every engagement runs through six stages: Discovery → Strategy → Design → Build → QA → Launch. You'll get weekly check-ins, Loom walkthroughs, and a clear scope before we start. Post-launch, most clients stay on monthly or yearly retainers for ongoing design, development, and SEO.
As a creative director, I lead a 15-person studio: designers, developers, QA, and PM. You work with me directly; the team scales behind the scenes based on what your project needs.
Primary tools & tech stack: Figma, Webflow, React/Next.js, Adobe Creative Suite, After Effects, and whatever else the project calls for (Lottie, Spline, Rive, Cinema4D).
Got a project to discuss? Send an invite or message me - I respond within a few hours on weekdays. Happy to do a fit-check call before you commit.
