CONCEPT AUTHOR & TECHNICAL PRODUCT DESIGNER | RHINO 8 & DFM SPECIALIST I am a Bachelor of Science (BSc) Product Design graduate from Swansea Metropolitan University (2:1 Hons). My professional approach is built on "Production Logic"—the essential bridge between an original concept sketch and a high-fidelity, manufacturable 3D model. I specialize in delivering designs that are not only visually striking but technically viable for real-world production. As the Concept Author and Lead 3D Designer of a 2025 German Design Award-winning series, I offer the rare ability to drive the creative "Originator" phase of a project while maintaining total technical command over the final manufacturing data. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE My career is anchored by over five years of dedicated service at Hans Winkler Design, where I managed the full project lifecycle for premium interior products. RESIDENTIAL FURNITURE: Expertise in living, kitchen, and bathroom cabinetry. SANITARYWARE & FIXTURES: Designing complex forms in ceramic, steel, acrylic, and glass. STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION: Metal-reinforced furniture | Rustic steel frameworks | Mechanical detailing. ADVANCED RHINO 8 WORKFLOW I utilize Rhino 8 as my primary design powerhouse, leveraging its latest features to provide: MANUFACTURING-READY DATA: Seamless delivery of STEP | STL | 3DM files optimized for production. HIGH-END VISUALIZATION: Utilizing Rhino 8 Renderer and Veras AI-enhanced rendering for photo-realistic "Hero Shots." TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION: Comprehensive 2D technical drawings and DFM documentation for clear engineering hand-offs. FEATURED CASE STUDIES 1. Juna Kitchen Sink Series | Systemceram The Achievement: Concept Author & Lead 3D Designer of the 2025 German Design Award Winner. From Sketch to Production: I served as the Concept Author for the Juna series, originating the initial design sketches and driving the aesthetic direction. I subsequently led the high-fidelity 3D development, bridging the gap between my original creative vision and the technical manufacturing requirements of Systemceram. The Technical Win: Managed complex internal radii to ensure optimal water flow while respecting strict shrinkage and mold-release constraints in high-end ceramic manufacturing. Key Deliverables: Multi-iteration 3D modeling (Rhino), DFM optimization for flush-mount/built-in variations, and direct technical consultation with the manufacturing team. 2. Vlineos Bathroom Suite | Voglauer The Achievement: Full-lifecycle modeling for a luxury Alpine furniture collection. Material Complexity: Mastered the integration of solid wood, carved stone, glass, and acrylic. The Technical Win: Solved the "millimeter-precision" challenge of adapting organic, pebble-inspired sink geometries across three distinct materials for both integrated and surface-mounted configurations. Key Deliverables: High-fidelity Rhino modeling and precise technical data hand-off to ensure "V-DNA" craftsmanship standards. 3. The Wall Bird | Orea AG The Achievement: Lead 3D Designer for a multi-functional, "plug-and-play" mobile office system. Mechanical Innovation: Conceptually designed the signature "Bird Foot" base, engineered specifically to house specialized GROSS+FROELICH caster systems for smooth, silent mobility. The Technical Win: Integrated complex internal "electric rails" and acoustic felt paneling into a slim, stable divider profile. Key Deliverables: Full system 3D modeling, assembly documentation, and exploded-view visualizations. MY SERVICE COMMITMENT I am a multidisciplinary designer who understands the Project Life Cycle—from design research and stakeholder consultation to prototype review and trade fair stand layout. By acting as the bridge between the concept sketch and the factory floor, I ensure your designs move into production with minimal corrections and maximum aesthetic integrity.
