Valerie is a London-based industrial & product designer helping companies turn physical product ideas into manufacturing-ready outcomes. Her work has helped clients secure funding, win awards, build complete product ranges and successfully manufacture products both locally and internationally. Notable clients include Feastables, InVentry, Micronclean and more. She focuses on the critical stage between early concept and production - where key decisions around design, engineering, cost and manufacturability need to be made correctly. By structuring projects around clear decision points, she helps teams move forward with confidence while avoiding costly mistakes later in development. Through her studio, Abtin Valerie, they deliver end-to-end product development - from initial direction and concept development through to prototyping, validation, design for manufacture and supplier-ready technical documentation. The studio has over 15 years of experience working across a wide range of industries including consumer products, electronic housings, children’s products and product ecosystems - supporting hardware start-ups, growing businesses and established companies in bringing products to market. They have helped clients win awards and launch products worldwide. Approach: - Structured, decision-led development process - Focus on manufacturable, commercially viable outcomes - Practical problem-solving across design, engineering and production - Clear communication and collaborative working style Capabilities: - Product direction and early-stage feasibility - Concept development and refinement - Prototyping and testing - Design for manufacture (DFM) and assembly - Supplier-ready CAD and technical documentation - Product systems, accessories and packaging development If you're developing a physical product and need support turning it into something that can be confidently manufactured, feel free to get in touch.

Hi, I’m a Designer with 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial design and engineering. My focus is on real-world, manufacturable solutions. I work in SolidWorks and can deliver fully detailed CAD models, drawings, assemblies, and prototype-ready files. I understand materials, tolerances, production methods, and how things come together. Whether it’s a simple part or a complex mechanism, I’ll make sure the design is solid, practical, and ready for manufacturing. I’ve designed everything from consumer products and sports gear to mechanical systems and testing rigs. I’ll flag problems early, communicate clearly, and focus on designing something that’s actually buildable—not just good-looking on screen.

I have 15 years experience as a 3D modelling generalist and designing for manufacturing. My clients have included a variety of SME's and Large businesses, private and government organisations. I have also worked on high art installations, viral youtube stars, Oscar winners and celebrities that are household names. I have modelled everything from prosthetics to buildings; static and functional models; small(mm) sized to large (m) sized; single colour to full colour. I can also provide high quality rendering services. I have designed for a wide range of manufacturing methods, from desktop and industrial 3d printing to large scale cnc machining and laser cutting. I can design for many materials from thermoplastics to resin casting+composites and powdered metal printing. I offer high quality in house 3D printing services using desktop FDM and SLA printers. I have close working relationships with several 3D printing bureaus. I am well versed in Blender's Geometry node system and can offer unique computational design services. For example I built a custom lattice generator system so that I can reduce the mass of designs whilst maintaining part strength. I also offer limited simulation services such as static load modelling. I have contributed to the Robohand prosthesis and the E-Nable group. My contributions to the design are still evident many years and thousands of hands later.
