I am a multidisciplinary designer based in Raleigh, NC, focusing on aligning aesthetics and manufacturability with culture, innovation, and my love for design. Throughout my projects I work at the intersection of graphic design, industrial design, and product management, to create compelling visuals and meaningful products in a given time frame. I received my Bachelors of Science degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where I studied Industrial Design. I have experience in product development, product management, prototyping, branding, and graphic design.

If you’re looking for more than just a 3D concept — if you need real, functional product designs built for manufacturing, prototyping, and actual use — I can help. I’m a U.S.-based mechanical/product engineer with over 15 years of CAD design experience and a proven track record of bringing physical products to life. My designs aren’t just for show — they’ve been manufactured, tested, shipped, and used by real customers in real environments. From precision mechanical assemblies to injection-molded components, 3D-printed prototypes, and production tooling, I’ve delivered complete solutions for clients ranging from startups to major manufacturers. I’ve worked as a Senior Product Engineer at a publicly traded company, contributed to government and defense programs, and designed parts for industries including 3D printing, firearms, consumer electronics, and industrial automation. What sets me apart: Manufacturing-ready CAD – not just pretty renders Experience with real-world constraints – tolerances, cost, DFM, ergonomics, stress, material choice Hands-on engineering insight – I don’t just model, I solve problems Clear U.S.-based communication & accountability – timelines, documentation, and results you can count on Yes, my rates are higher than offshore freelancers — but you're paying for proven reliability, quality you can manufacture, and a designer who understands the why behind every decision. Whether you need to make a new idea, optimize a prototype for injection molding, or take your napkin sketch to production — I’m ready to help. Let’s build something real.
