I help turn ideas into real, functional products. This can start from a rough sketch, a reference photo or an early concept. I work from CAD design and 3D modelling all the way to physical prototypes.
I’m new on Upwork, but I’ve been working in product design and fabrication for more than 10 years. My background includes CNC machining, thermoforming, mold-making, laser cutting and rapid prototyping with FDM and SLA. Because of this mix, I focus on designs that can actually be manufactured, assembled and used, not just models that look good on a screen.
What I can help with
• CAD modelling (Fusion 360 / STEP)
• 3D models for printing, prototyping or presentation
• STL repair, mesh cleanup and CAD conversion
• Parts prepared for FDM or SLA printing
• Simple mechanisms, functional parts and assemblies
• Product development from idea to prototype
• Prototyping and manufacturing guidance when needed
How I work
You can send me a sketch, a photo, a reference model or any file you already have. I’ll check feasibility and share clear options, timelines and the most efficient way to move forward.
If needed, I can also print prototypes in-house and ship worldwide.
Since I’m building my presence here on Upwork, I focus on clear communication, fast response and a flexible approach. If it helps, I can send a quick preview before closing any milestone.
Feel free to message me with what you're working on. I’ll be glad to help.

Senior UX/UI for live products where mistakes are expensive. Predictable shipping without management overhead or rework.
🟢 It’s a fit when:
- You already have a live product, but UX complexity is starting to slow the team down
- There are complex flows, data-heavy screens, and product constraints
- Design decisions regularly require extra clarification for developers
- You need someone who can get productive fast, without hand-holding
- The product is in production, and mistakes are expensive or risky
- You want to bring structure and consistency without a breaking everything
🟢 Production problems I’ve handled
- Expanding a U.S. government system where UX mistakes were costly
- Scaling a B2B platform across multiple growth stages as complexity increased
- Rebuilding a data-heavy SaaS into a full V2 once further expansion became unsafe
🟢 What to expect: ownership, predictable delivery, and fewer decisions on your side.
- Clear scope and deliverables agreed upfront
- Regular async updates, no constant check-ins required
- Working within existing product constraints
- Dev-friendly, production-ready deliverables
- Practical solutions without unnecessary complexity
- Design decisions carried through to implementation
- UX choices grounded in real flows, edge cases, and implementation
🟢 How engagement starts:
We start with a short call to align on your product state, constraints, and what needs to be solved first.
The goal is to quickly confirm whether this makes sense and define a low-risk next step.
If there’s a fit, I’ll suggest a concrete starting point with a predictable scope.
