🛠️What I do and thrive for?
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with clients across diverse industries, to bring their ideas to life—from concept to creation—helping them design smarter products, optimize manufacturing, and execute impactful projects.
Whether it's refining a production process to meet Lean Six Sigma goals or guiding a product through its full lifecycle—from initial concept to market.
“I’m here to make things work better, look better, and perform better”.
Together with my clients we’ve tackled everything from robotics and smart manufacturing to design consumer goods, production process development, and process simulation.
My goal? To turn ideas into reality—and make sure the journey is efficient, cost-effective, and sustainably designed.
🔧 Technical Background
I bring a solid foundation of engineering and design experience to the table:
•8 years in product development & industrial design
•5 years in metal design (forming, finishing, and fabrication processes)
•4 years in additive manufacturing (FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM)
•2 years in robotics and production system design (material handling, food, and electronics industries)
•2 years in scientific research as a laboratory engineer
🎨 Creative + Cross-Functional Experience
Alongside my technical work, I’ve built a strong background in creative and organizational fields that complement my engineering mindset:
•12 years in event management & coordination
•15 years in photography and visual storytelling
•7 years in graphic design and brand visual development
🛠️How I can help you?
🔧 Mechanical Design Expertise
This is where function meets engineering.
✅ Product & Component Design
I design mechanical components and assemblies with functionality, reliability, and efficiency in mind. Whether it's a consumer gadget, machine part, or custom mechanism, I focus on:
•Kinematic and dynamic systems (gears, linkages, sliders, cams)
•Enclosures and internal layout
•Moving parts with precision tolerances
Interlocking assemblies and fastener strategies
✅ CAD Modeling & Technical Drawing
I create 3D models and detailed 2D drawings using tools like SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Creo. This includes:
•Fully parametric modeling and assemblies
•Exploded views, technical drawings, and BOMs
•GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)
•Rendering for client reviews or presentations
✅ Prototyping & Iteration
I turn concepts into testable, hands-on models quickly. I use:
•3D printing (FDM, SLA, SLS)
•Laser cutting and CNC milling
•Soft tooling or basic mold design
Hands-on testing and design iterations based on real-world feedback
✅ Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Assembly (DFA)
I ensure designs are not just great on screen, but practical in the factory. I plan for:
•Injection molding and plastic part design
•Sheet metal and machined parts
•Tolerance stack-ups and assembly efficiency
Cost-effective and scalable production
✅ Engineering Simulations & Analysis
When performance matters, I simulate and validate. I use:
•Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for stress, strain, deflection
•Thermal analysis for heat distribution
•Motion simulation for mechanical systems
•Design improvements based on test results and safety margins
🎨 Industrial Design Expertise
This is where form, feel, and user experience come to life.
✅ Concept Development
I start with user insights and market trends to shape new ideas, including:
•Sketching and ideation
•Moldboards and inspiration decks
•Rapid concept models for visual and functional feedback
✅ Aesthetics, Form & CMF
•I design clean, visually aligned products that enhance brand identity:
Let's connect and explore the mysteries, and innovate ideas that will make people's life better.
