I am a Senior Industrial Designer with 5+ years of experience developing consumer products from early concept through mass production. I help startups, entrepreneurs, and established brands turn ideas into manufacturable, market-ready products by combining industrial design, engineering awareness, and real-world manufacturing knowledge.
My focus is not just creating attractive concepts, it is developing products that can actually be produced, scaled, and sold. Over the past decade, I have worked on a wide range of consumer products including consumer electronics, home & kitchen products, oral care, medical devices, lifestyle accessories, and kids’ products.
My work has supported products sold through major retailers and global brands including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Newell Brands, Perrigo, Gibson Homewares, Microsoft, Nokia, and Disney. I specialize in guiding products through the entire development pipeline, from initial concept and design language to production-ready CAD and factory collaboration.
My process focuses on three key outcomes:
• User-centered design that stands out in the market
• Engineering-aware development that reduces costly redesigns
• Manufacturing-ready CAD optimized for tooling and production I regularly collaborate with engineering teams, sourcing specialists, and manufacturers to ensure a smooth transition from design to manufacturing.
WHAT I DELIVER:
🏷 3D CAD Modeling & Mechanical Engineering — Precision parametric modeling in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Rhino 3D. Complex mechanical assemblies, PCB enclosures, electronics enclosure design, ergonomic handles, furniture components — clean, manufacturing-ready CAD your factories can actually use, complete with technical drawings and a full Bill of Materials (BOM).
🏷 Photorealistic Rendering & Product Visualization — KeyShot and Blender renders that sell your product before it's even built. Campaign-ready product visualization for crowdfunding, e-commerce, patent filings, and investor presentations.
🏷 Design for Manufacturing DFM & DFMA — Injection mold design, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, die casting, vacuum forming. I think about wall thickness, draft angles, parting lines, and tooling costs from the very first sketch, not as an afterthought. Every file I deliver is manufacturing-ready.
🏷 Industrial Design & Concept Development — Ideation, sketching, CMF strategy (Color, Materials & Finishes), and product architecture. Every concept is grounded in manufacturing feasibility, not just aesthetics. Specialties include consumer electronics design, wearable device design, and medical device design.
🏷 Rapid Prototyping & 3D Printing Prep — Print-ready STL files, prototype planning, and factory-ready file preparation. I guide product development from early concept through prototype to product launch, with the technical drawings and BOM your team needs to move fast.
🏷 Mechanical Engineering & Structural Design — From load-bearing assemblies to precision-fit enclosures, I apply core mechanical engineering principles to every product I touch. Tolerancing, material selection, fastener strategy, and structural integrity are baked into the design process, not bolted on at the end.
🏷 Packaging Design — Retail-ready structural dielines and shelf-impact strategy for consumer goods and hardware startups.

CAD Industrial Designer | Mechanical Engineer Product Designer | PCB Designer | Wearable Designer | Consumer Product Design | Fusion 360 | SolidWorks & Rhino | Medical Device Designer | Electronics Enclosure CAD | Mechanical Engineering | Mechanical Engineer | DFMA | Photorealistic Rendering | Startup Product Designer and Industrial Design
I take consumer products from first sketch to mass production, working as a product designer, mechanical engineer, and CAD designer in one. My CAD isn't just pretty, it's built to survive contact with a real factory: correct wall thickness, draft angles, tolerancing, and material selection considered from day one, not bolted on after the fact.
With over 4+ years as a Senior Industrial Designer and Product Design Engineer, I bridge the gap between industrial design and mechanical engineering, so your product looks right, fits together, and actually survives injection molding, assembly, and real-world shipping.
What I deliver:
Manufacturing-ready CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino) with full technical drawings and Bill of Materials (BOM)
DFM/DFMA review and mechanical engineering support to catch costly redesigns before tooling
Electronics enclosure design and PCB enclosure design for consumer and medical devices
Injection molding design, mold-ready parts, and production prototyping
Photorealistic 3D rendering (KeyShot, Blender) for crowdfunding campaigns, e-commerce listings, patent filings, and investor decks
MVP prototyping and print-ready STL files for startups and early-stage founders
Medical device & biotech animation: device demo videos, mechanism-of-action (MOA) visuals, surgical sequence animation
Reverse engineering and 3D scanning cleanup for existing products needing redesign or improvement
Design for assembly (DFA) reviews to reduce part count, labor time, and unit cost before you scale production
Industries I specialize in: Consumer electronics, smart home & IoT, wearable technology, medical devices, home & kitchen products, oral care, kids' products, and lifestyle accessories and other industries
Notable projects:
Wearable tech product (wristwatch/fitness device): concept sketches through manufacturing-ready CAD, including material selection and component fit for assembly
Consumer electronics product: full development from initial concept to production-ready CAD and technical drawings, ready for tooling
Photorealistic KeyShot/Blender renders used for marketing, crowdfunding, and pre-launch visuals across multiple consumer product lines
Tools & software: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, KeyShot, Blender, Adobe Dimension, Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate
File formats delivered: STEP, STL, DXF, OBJ, or whatever your engineering team needs
How I work:
Discovery call or written brief I ask about your product's function, target price point, manufacturing method, and timeline before touching CAD
Concept sketches or blocked-out 3D forms quick iterations so we lock direction before investing in detailed engineering
Engineering CAD wall thickness, draft angles, snap-fits, tolerancing, and material selection built in from the start, not patched in later
DFM/DFMA review I flag anything that will cause tooling problems, cost overruns, or assembly issues before you commit to a mold
Technical drawings & BOM, production-ready documentation your manufacturer can quote and build from immediately
Photorealistic renders (if needed), for crowdfunding, e-commerce, patents, or investor decks
Production support, I stay available through first-article inspection and tooling adjustments
My designs have shipped through Amazon, Target, and Walmart retail channels, with brands including Newell Brands, Perrigo, Gibson Homewares, Microsoft, Nokia, and Disney.]
I stay involved through production, collaborating directly with your engineering team, sourcing agents, or manufacturer so the design translates cleanly from CAD to the factory floor. Whether you need an industrial designer, a mechanical design engineer, or a full product design consultant for one phase or the entire journey, I adapt to what your project actually needs.
Send me your product idea even a rough sketch or a few sentences. I'll reply within 24 hours with a clear plan, scope, and timeline.
Not sure if your idea is ready for CAD? Send it anyway. I'll tell you honestly what stage it's at and what it needs next.
