I am a Senior Product Design Engineer with 27plus years experience Inventing, Designing and Engineering products. I have designed, engineered and helped launch over 100 successful products in the consumer, sporting goods, toy, medical and industrial markets. You will find my name on over 20 US and international patents in the above defined fields. I have worked with inventors, startups, fortune 500 companies and everything in between. I have a team of virtual experts I can reach out to should we come into any obstacles during a new product project. I can assist from concept sketches, renderings, new product innovations, problem solving, End user research, utility and design patent strategies, Solidworks CAD, Engineering Blueprints, 3D printing, graphic design, packaging design, and domestic and overseas manufacturing. My manufacturing experiences range from sheet metal stamping, plastic injection molding, thermo form molding, blow molding, cut and sew fabrics, screen printing, die cutting, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, powdercoat painting, anodizing, electroplating, etc. I look forward to assisting you and your company in making your project a reality.

I believe that understanding design and products comes down to understanding people and the marketplace. As an empathetic designer, my goal is to fully listen to your vision and work beside you to make it a reality through research, design, prototyping, design for manufacturing, business strategy and assistance with sourcing of a manufacturing partner. I am an experienced Mechanical Engineer and designer who has worked in numerous product design consultancies working across various industries including medical devices, consumer, furniture, toys, kitchenware, outdoor and foodservice, etc. I specialize in mechanism design and prototyping concepts with an eye towards manufacturing. I am also able to render your product for marketing materials and create engineering drawings for manufacturing. Additionally, I work out of mHubchicago.com, which provides me access to a number of tools that will be used to prototype, test and possibly produce a short run of your product. I am excited to assist you with your vision! Skills include prototyping, design for manufacturing, CAD, renderings and 2D engineering drawings.

I help hardware startups and small manufacturers catch costly design and manufacturability issues before they hit production — not after tooling is already cut. With 10+ years as a SolidWorks mechanical designer, I specialize in: DFM reviews — identifying manufacturability risks before you commit to tooling GD&T application & tolerance stack-up analysis — ensuring parts fit and function across assemblies Production-ready 2D drawings & 3D models — clean, release-ready documentation your shop can build from Fixture & tooling design — custom jigs and fixtures for CNC, assembly, or inspection Currently working as a CAD Specialist in precision design, with prior experience as a Senior Manufacturing/Design Engineer. Past work includes leading a $1M cost-saving program, managing a $2M account, and running automation/PLC projects for a major automotive supplier. I bring shop-floor manufacturing experience, not just CAD software skills — so designs I deliver are built to actually work in production, not just look good on screen. Fast turnaround, clear communication, and a track record of catching problems before they become expensive.

Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineer with 10+ years in Design and Product Development experience. I have completed projects from simple one piece low cost designs, to complex and expensive multi-piece assemblies. Working with 3D modeling packages I'm skilled in part design, assembly design, lofting, and drafting. My experience in machining and fabrication gives me a unique skill set that allows for a complete product development process from initial concept creation to design, analysis, and prototype fabrication. I have the experience that can bring your concept to life.

Top performer in my field turning your idea into tangible 3D models. I completed an Associate of manufacturing with an emphasis in SolidWorks. I have a second Associate degree in general arts. Bought the software and never looked back. I also have a construction background.

I am a Solidworks 3d cad tooling designer. I specialize in progressive stamping die design but can design any tooling, part, or consumer product in 3d. I am able to generate 2d drawings from your 3d models or 3d models from your 2d drawings. If you have a idea or a simple sketch of something you would like to see in 3d, contact me. Let's work together to visualize your idea.
