Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional | Mechanical Design & Product Development.
Hey, it's Noah over here. I'm in the engineering business, and I like to play with software that enables me to drop my ideas into the real world. I've been using SolidWorks for about 4 years now, and I'm confident I can make your ideas come true.
I don’t just build models; I design for function, assembly, and manufacturing. Whether you are an entrepreneur developing a prototype or a firm needing to offload complex CAD engineering, I provide high-fidelity 3D modeling and precision 2D drafting.
1. 3D Mechanical Modeling & Design
Creating complex parts and large-scale assemblies using top-down or bottom-up design methodologies.
Parametric modeling that allows for quick iterations and design changes.
2. Product Design & Prototyping
Transforming 2D sketches or PDF drawings into fully realized 3D models.
Designing for 3D Printing (Additive), Injection Molding, and CNC Machining.
3. Sheet Metal & Weldment Design
Creating flat patterns for laser cutting and bending.
Generating structural weldment cut lists and frames.
4. Professional 2D Technical Drawings
GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) application.
Detailed manufacturing blueprints, exploded views, and Bill of Materials (BOM).
5. Photorealistic Rendering & Visualization
Using SOLIDWORKS Visualize to create high-quality marketing images of your product before it’s even built.
Being a Certified Professional means I have been vetted by Dassault Systèmes for speed, accuracy, and advanced problem-solving within the software. My 4 years of experience ensure that:
Models are stable: No "broken" features or messy assembly mates.
Designs are manufacturable: I account for tolerances and material properties.
Communication is seamless: I speak the language of engineers and manufacturers.
I am also here to offer my services as a creative and detail-oriented Graphic Designer specializing in high-impact visual communication. With a proven track record of using Canva to bridge the gap between complex ideas and stunning visuals, I help brands build a cohesive and professional identity across all platforms.
My design philosophy focuses on "clarity through creativity." I don’t just create layouts; I build visual experiences that resonate with target audiences and drive engagement. Whether you need polished corporate documentation or vibrant social media assets, I deliver professional-grade results with efficiency.
My Core Design Competencies Include:
Brand Identity & Collateral: Crafting cohesive brand kits, including logos, business cards, letterheads, and corporate stationery that align with your unique voice.
Marketing & Social Media: Designing high-engagement templates for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, as well as digital ad banners and email headers.
Professional Documentation: Transforming raw data into aesthetic and readable company profiles, pitch decks, annual reports, and brochures.
Print & Industrial Design: Creating high-quality print-ready assets such as posters, flyers, and technical signage that maintain crisp resolution from screen to physical media.
Multimedia Integration: Leveraging Canva’s advanced features to incorporate motion graphics, video elements, and interactive QR codes into digital assets.
I am adept at working within established brand guidelines while finding innovative ways to elevate a brand's aesthetic. My goal is to provide you with versatile, high-quality designs that not only look professional but also serve your strategic business objectives.
I would love the opportunity to discuss your upcoming design needs and show you how I can bring your vision to life. Thank you for your time and consideration.
