I’m an Exhibit CAD Designer / Project Engineer specializing in trade show exhibits, experiential environments, scenic builds, and fabrication-ready production drawings. With 5 years in the exhibit and event industry and 10 years of CAD/engineering-related experience, I help clients turn concepts, sketches, floor plans, and design direction into clear, buildable documentation for fabrication and installation. My work focuses on the production side of design: booth layouts, 3D models, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, construction details, BOMs, assembly documentation, and installation-ready drawing packages. I understand how exhibits are actually built, revised, packed, shipped, and installed, so my drawings are created with fabricators, vendors, and field teams in mind. I can support projects with: * Trade show booth layouts and floor plans * Exhibit fabrication drawings and shop drawings * 3D modeling and design development * Scenic and experiential event documentation * Elevations, sections, details, and assembly drawings * Millwork, metal, acrylic, graphics, and modular exhibit detailing * Monitor walls, AV integration, truss, lighting, and technology coordination * BOMs, component planning, and production packages * Installation-focused documentation for field teams My background includes custom exhibits, branded environments, scenic fabrication, modular exhibit systems, vendor coordination, and production support. I’m comfortable working with project managers, designers, account teams, fabrication shops, AV vendors, logistics teams, and installers to keep a project moving from concept through execution. My primary tools include AutoCAD and Vectorworks, along with fabrication and production documentation workflows used for exhibit and event production. What I bring is more than CAD drafting. I bring real exhibit production knowledge, strong spatial understanding, and the ability to create drawings that are not just visually clear, but practical, buildable, and ready for the shop floor. If you need help turning an exhibit, event, or branded environment concept into clean, production-ready documentation, I’d be happy to help.

I transform deep meanings and complex ideas into premium physical products that resonate emotionally. With 8 years of experience in graphic design and brand strategy, I go beyond just visuals. I specialize in end-to-end conceptual product development: from defining a brand’s core philosophy and creating unique illustrations to engineering complex packaging and preparing production-ready files. My Approach: I focus on the entire lifecycle of a product. My background as a founder of a mission-driven brand allows me to understand both the creative and business sides of a project. I don't just deliver a design, I create a functional system that works for the manufacturer and the end user. What I do: • Product Development: I design physical goods like wooden toys, puzzles, and interactive kits. I handle everything from the initial concept to the technical blueprints for laser cutting and production. • Packaging Engineering: I create logical, minimalist packaging that ensures a premium unboxing experience and keeps all components organized. • Visual Storytelling: I develop characters and narratives that give products a deeper purpose. • Brand Strategy: I help brands define their message and translate it into a cohesive visual identity across all physical and digital touchpoints. • Technical Expertise: I provide production-ready files, optimized for printing and manufacturing. I understand materials like wood, textiles, and paper, ensuring that the final product looks and feels exactly as intended. I am interested in projects that value intentional design and high-quality execution. Whether you are launching a new product or refining an existing brand, I can help you move from a rough idea to a finished physical object. Let’s discuss your project!
