My Outlook: Every product design project begins with a jumble of vague puzzle pieces. The pieces… market analysis, competitive analysis, price points, innovation, differentiation, aesthetics, concinnity, function, ergonomics, materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, assembly, packaging, shipping, users, manufacturers, costs, and the client. A myriad of considerations assemble into a design that makes your product unique, pertinent, targeted within its market, and profitable… a tangible object of desire and promise... a crisp image that makes sense. Every product wants to be something… to be desired and to realize its potential. I strive to stimulate that desire and optimize that potential… to solve the puzzle. My clients' success ensures my own and realizing that desire and potential benefits us both. My Experience: I use my degree in industrial design as a product designer/developer covering a wide variety of products. I have 20+ years of 3D modeling and product development experience. I have the resources to do it all... from concept to point of purchase and everything in-between. My Feedback, received and given: “Steve did great work helping us detail our product for manufacturing. He took the time to really understand the project and its intricacies instead of diving head first and by the end of this job, had an intimate understanding of all the details. He is talented and was willing to research new methods to help meet our stringent product constraints. We went through several discussions and he was excellent at being responsive and keeping things on track. He produced high quality solidworks assemblies and files. Overall he went above and beyond what was expected of him. Highly recommended contractor, A+++” —robocular “Antoine is an outstanding client to work with. He's quite knowledgeable and organized with clearly established goals coupled with exceptional communication skills. This project had some challenging constraints outside typical manufacturing and product design and development norms, but we worked through these challenges while staying within the target budget for the product. This project was more than I had bargained for, but I relished the challenge and Antoine appreciated the effort I put into it, which made this job particularly satisfying. I hope to work with Robocular again in the future.” —Io-Design “Working with Steve was a pleasure, not only do I think he’s an all-around good guy, but his approach to our project was great. He was able to take our idea and bring all his experience in making it better. Our initial idea was transformed into a product that ended up being cheaper to produce and nicer, while being more practical. We were able to overcome the hurdle we encounter and find solution that made it work! Also, he often came back with a different idea of doing things that were very practical. I Highly recommend him. ” — yvesl “Yvesi came to me with the need for a design for a grain dispenser for feeding livestock. As is often the case, he showed me a design from another designer he had hired that didn't meet the product requirements. This design was too large and could not be sold at a profit due to inappropriate and impractical manufacturing processes. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that is half the size, more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly, and is simple to assemble and install. Also, it will be sold at a projected price point that is 10% lower than the competition at a projected 90% profit margin while enjoying relatively low capital expenditures. It was a pleasure working with yvesi on this project and I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future.” —Io-Design “Io-Design was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He provided designs that were exactly what we were looking for and he took into account the manufacturing. I would recommend him to anyone. ” — Westone “As mentioned in the job description, Blake works for a company that represents the ultimate, uncompromising audio experience – revolutionary sound; unrivaled comfort and fit; with superior, innovative design in the earphone market. While they are well known among audiophiles and professionals who rely on uncompromising audio, they are less so in the consumer market. This project was part of an effort to update their earphones look, feel, and user experience to the level of their best in class earphone technology... the challenge being that their existing monitors/earbuds were to remain unchanged. Through close collaboration, we came up with a design that practices concinnity with the existing monitors, introduces innovative solutions, targets the consumer market, and enhances brand recognition. Superior design was the point of this project and together we have achieved that goal. Blake is a pleasure to work with and I'm looking forward to the next project.” —Io-Design

I'm a mechanical engineer specializing in mold design, tooling, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM), with 12+ years of experience spanning hands-on engineering and plant-floor manufacturing leadership. I run Wittman Designs out of San Diego, where my flagship engagement is a multi-year aerospace tooling program: I led the redesign of a stalled production line, then scaled the new silicone tooling system across 27 legacy molds, generating 8.3x ROI for the client. My background as a Plant Manager and Senior Manufacturing Engineer means I design tools that actually run in production, not just ones that look good in CAD. SolidWorks, GD&T, FDM/SLA prototyping, silicone and composite tooling.

I’m an Exhibit CAD Designer / Project Engineer specializing in trade show exhibits, experiential environments, scenic builds, and fabrication-ready production drawings. With 5 years in the exhibit and event industry and 10 years of CAD/engineering-related experience, I help clients turn concepts, sketches, floor plans, and design direction into clear, buildable documentation for fabrication and installation. My work focuses on the production side of design: booth layouts, 3D models, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, construction details, BOMs, assembly documentation, and installation-ready drawing packages. I understand how exhibits are actually built, revised, packed, shipped, and installed, so my drawings are created with fabricators, vendors, and field teams in mind. I can support projects with: * Trade show booth layouts and floor plans * Exhibit fabrication drawings and shop drawings * 3D modeling and design development * Scenic and experiential event documentation * Elevations, sections, details, and assembly drawings * Millwork, metal, acrylic, graphics, and modular exhibit detailing * Monitor walls, AV integration, truss, lighting, and technology coordination * BOMs, component planning, and production packages * Installation-focused documentation for field teams My background includes custom exhibits, branded environments, scenic fabrication, modular exhibit systems, vendor coordination, and production support. I’m comfortable working with project managers, designers, account teams, fabrication shops, AV vendors, logistics teams, and installers to keep a project moving from concept through execution. My primary tools include AutoCAD and Vectorworks, along with fabrication and production documentation workflows used for exhibit and event production. What I bring is more than CAD drafting. I bring real exhibit production knowledge, strong spatial understanding, and the ability to create drawings that are not just visually clear, but practical, buildable, and ready for the shop floor. If you need help turning an exhibit, event, or branded environment concept into clean, production-ready documentation, I’d be happy to help.
