3D Industrial Designer & Product Designer & PCB Designer | Fusion 360 . SolidWorks . Rhino . Keyshot | Electronics Enclosure Design | Medical Device Designer | Wearable Device Designer | Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineer | DFMA | Photorealistic Rendering | Startup Product Designer and Industrial Design 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. → Consumer Electronics: Smart home devices, audio products, wearable device design, IoT, PCB enclosures, electronics enclosure design → Furniture & Home Goods: Seating, storage, lighting, modular systems → Medical & Health Devices: Handheld diagnostics, health tools, medical device design, 3D medical animation → Hardware Startups: MVP rapid prototyping, pitch-ready renders, manufacturing-ready CAD, and mechanical engineering support for product launch 🛠 TOOLS & SOFTWARE THAT I USE: 1.

By the time a hardware problem becomes visible, it’s usually already expensive. A battery compartment that’s slightly undersized. A PCB that technically fits but complicates assembly. An enclosure that looks perfect in CAD yet requires multiple revisions before production. These problems don’t appear overnight. They’re usually the result of decisions that were made independently instead of being evaluated as part of the complete product. That’s where I create value. I work at the intersection of industrial design, electronics product development, and PCB integration, where design, engineering, manufacturing, and user experience must work together from the start. Because in hardware development, nothing exists in isolation. The enclosure affects the PCB. The PCB affects component placement. Component placement affects thermal performance. Thermal performance affects materials, manufacturing, and ultimately the commercial success of the product. The most successful products aren’t always the most complex. They’re the products where critical decisions were made correctly early in development. My approach is built around identifying challenges before they become delays, redesigns, and unnecessary costs. What I Bring to a Project • Industrial Design • Consumer Electronics Design • Electronics Product Development • PCB Integration • Product Architecture • Enclosure Design • Mechanical Design • 3D CAD Modeling • Product Visualization & Rendering • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Design for Assembly (DFA) • Prototype Development Support How I Work Every project starts with understanding constraints. Not because constraints limit creativity, but because they define reality. Whether it’s cost targets, PCB requirements, manufacturing methods, assembly considerations, thermal challenges, or user expectations, understanding these factors early leads to better decisions later. Rather than focusing solely on appearance or functionality, I approach product development as a complete system. My goal is to ensure that design decisions support engineering requirements, manufacturing realities, and the experience of the end user. Who I Work With I work with startups, founders, inventors, and product teams developing consumer electronics, IoT devices, wearables, smart products, and innovative hardware solutions. Some clients come with a rough concept. Others already have electronics and need a manufacturable product around them. Some need help preparing for prototyping, while others need support refining products for production. Regardless of where a project begins, the objective remains the same: Create products that work in the real world, not just in a render, not just in a prototype, but throughout the entire journey from concept to production. If you’re looking for a designer who understands both the visible product customers interact with and the engineering decisions that determine its success, I’d be happy to discuss your project. The goal isn’t simply to build a prototype. It’s to build a product that deserves to reach the market.
