I run Hattendorf Design & Solutions, a small manufacturing-focused design consultancy specializing in CAD, tooling, and design-for-manufacture. My work sits at the intersection of engineering design and the shop floor—helping clients turn concepts, legacy parts, or problem designs into manufacturable, production-ready solutions. I don’t just model parts to look good on screen. I design them to survive machining, molding, casting, inspection, and assembly. What I Do Best ✔ Production-Ready CAD & Drawings Parametric CAD models and clear manufacturing drawings built for real-world tolerances and processes. (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo) ✔ Tooling & Mold Design Design support for: Casting tooling and patterns Injection and permanent molds Fixtures and manufacturing aids ✔ DFM & Manufacturability Reviews Identify tolerance risks, draft issues, parting problems, and cost drivers before they hit the shop. ✔ Reverse Engineering & Reconstruction Turn scans, physical parts, or incomplete data into clean, editable CAD ready for production and inspection. ✔ Prototyping Support 3D printing and validation workflows to de-risk designs prior to tooling or release. Recent Project Experience Designed tooling and molds for aluminum and polymer components, reducing lead times and rework ✔Reconstructed legacy parts and tooling into modern parametric CAD for repeatable production Supported machine shops and foundries with designs meeting strict tolerance, inspection, and DFM requirements ✔Delivered drawings and models that integrate smoothly into CNC, QC, and inspection workflows My Background I’m a Design Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience supporting casting, molding, and machining environments. I’m completing my degree in Mechatronics Engineering, with emphasis on mechanical design, manufacturing processes, and quality systems. This combination lets me bridge the gap between: Engineering intent Manufacturing reality Cost, lead time, and quality constraints How I Work Clear scope and deliverables Practical, production-aware design decisions Clean files, revision control, and documentation Responsive communication and realistic timelines If you need manufacturable designs, tooling support, or a technical partner who understands how parts actually get made, I’d be glad to help.

I work as an ongoing China-side operations partner for overseas e-commerce, DTC, and import/export brands — not just a one-off sourcing agent for single transactions. My background is different from most sourcing freelancers on this platform: I spent four years as a government enterprise auditor, conducting official due diligence and background investigations on 300+ manufacturing facilities across the Tianjin industrial region — verifying business licenses, assessing real production capacity, interviewing management, and producing formal audit reports. That means when I tell a client a supplier is legitimate, it's backed by the same verification standards used in official government audits, not a quick factory-visit photo. I help clients with: Supplier verification & factory audits — confirming a supplier is real, licensed, and capable of the order size before money moves Sourcing & quote comparison — finding manufacturers, negotiating pricing, comparing multiple quotes for the best cost-to-quality ratio Quality control & compliance — coordinating sample review, in-process inspections, and documentation for compliance-sensitive or paperwork-heavy categories Production & logistics management — tracking orders through production, managing shipping method selection, customs documentation, and freight coordination Vendor relationship management — acting as your on-the-ground contact so you don't have to chase factories yourself across time zones I'm available for both project-based work and ongoing monthly retainer arrangements. Many of my clients prefer a recurring setup — for example, a set number of hours per month dedicated to supplier check-ins, QC spot-checks, and logistics coordination — rather than re-hiring for each individual task. If you're looking for a long-term, embedded China-side contact rather than a one-time transaction, that's exactly the kind of relationship I'm set up to support. I communicate in professional written English (email/Slack/Upwork messaging) as standard practice — this keeps a clear documentation trail for compliance-sensitive work and makes it easy to loop in your team. Fast response time, typically within a few hours given the time difference. If your business sources, manufactures, or ships anything out of China and you want someone who can be trusted with the details — not just introductions — I'd be glad to talk about how an ongoing arrangement could work for you.

Hi 👋🏽 I'm Maria, a Fashion & Apparel Tech Pack Designer who helps Serious startups and growing brands turn a raw idea into a REAL, sellable collection. If you're building a luxury activewear or streetwear line and you want a partner who is just as committed to seeing your collection become a real, wearable product as you are, you're in the right place. With a business mindset, I specialize in exactly this: production ready tech packs for luxury activewear and streetwear brands that my efficient, trusted factory partners can bring to life, while I stay hands on with you through every step of development. No handing off a sketch and disappearing, I'm with you until it's actually made. With 12+ years of experience working primarily with the EU & US market, I've built my career around one thing: helping founders launch collections that actually make it to production quickly, on time and on budget. As a Fashion & Apparel Tech Pack Designer & Developer, I don't just sketch pretty flats. I build the full technical foundation, specs, construction notes, BOM, and grading, so your manufacturer has everything they need from day one and you're not left guessing. What I bring to your luxury activewear or streetwear brand: ✅ GREAT Collections optimized for a Strategic Development & Launch ✅ Factory ready tech packs: detailed specs, measurements, construction notes, BOM, and colorways ✅ Sampling management: fit comments, revisions, quality checkpoints, and direct factory communication ✅ Factory sourcing and alignment: ethical and sustainable options with a smooth handoff ✅ Lead time and production planning: milestones, timelines, and a realistic launch date You don't need to keep interviewing designers or piecing together advice from five different freelancers. As a Tech Pack Designer who has worked across production partners in the US, China, and Europe, I bring the technical fluency, the factory relationships, and the process discipline to take your luxury activewear or streetwear concept from first sketch to bulk production, without the wasted samples, missed deadlines, or budget surprises that come from working with someone who understands design but not manufacturing. This is what past clients say about working with me =) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Maria is super attentive and a great person to work with. She cares about your project and gives it her all. Will recommend working with her for your fashion and garment sample needs." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Maria has amazing attention to detail and will make sure you're satisfied before completing the contract!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Maria delivered an outstanding apparel tech pack, accurate, detailed, and production ready. Her skills, quality of work, and attention to detail were exceptional. She was always available, gave prompt feedback, met deadlines ahead of schedule, and communicated clearly throughout. A true professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend and look forward to working with her again." If you're serious about launching a luxury activewear or streetwear collection that's actually ready for production, you don't need to keep searching. Message me with your idea or your biggest challenge right now, and I'll tell you honestly what it will take to get it made. Let's build something real 🤍 Stay healthy! Maria

I’m an independent food safety consultant with over two decades of experience safeguarding the integrity of food systems...from retail and restaurant operations to manufacturing and distribution. I’ve built my career by helping businesses align with regulatory standards, reduce risk, and create food safety cultures that are both practical and sustainable. Currently serving as an Expert Advisor for the business I founded, InnoSafe Foods, I lead initiatives in food safety program development, risk governance, and operational assessments. My work spans national retail brands, airline catering, sushi programs, and high-volume convenience food operations. I also collaborate with other food safety consultants such as Active Food Safety, The Definitive Safety Group, and KTLO Solutions in providing expert level consulting --- with a hands-on practical approach. In April 2025, I was featured in Parade Magazine as a trusted expert on airport food safety; offering insights into how rushed environments, improper storage, and cross-contamination can elevate foodborne illness risks. In November 2025, I authored my first published article for Food Safety Magazine "Safe Until Served: The Hidden Risks of RTE Foods in Retail. Media features like this reflect the real-world impact of my work and my commitment to public health. I’m known for turning complex food safety challenges into actionable strategies that empower teams, strengthen compliance, and protect both consumers and brand reputation.

Hi, my name is Zack and I’m a mechanical engineer. I have approximately 5 years of work experience involving work with CAD design, 3D printing, design for manufacturing, and project management. I have used Freeform, Solidworks, Inventor and Fusion 360 design software. I primarily use Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360 today. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in Fall 2020 Cum Laude with a degree in mechanical engineering. I’m currently working as a senior manufacturing engineer/project manager where I take customer requirements, convert them into 3D models for approval and take them through the manufacturing processes. I am responsible for all projects through each step of our processes in a sheet metal environment so I am familiar with laser cutting, CNC machining, bending, welding, assembly, and powder coating. I also tutored mathematics in college where I learned crucial problem solving skills.
