Automotive CAD & Product Design Engineer with 17+ years of experience in vehicle design and product development, specialising in Interior, Exterior, BIW, Closures, plastic components, sheet metal and composite/CFRP parts. Highly proficient in CATIA V5, CATIA V6/3DEXPERIENCE and Siemens NX, with extensive experience taking components from concept and feasibility through detailed CAD development, engineering drawings and production support. My key expertise includes 3D CAD modelling, vehicle packaging, master sections, Class-A surface feasibility, B-surface development, gap & flush, fixing strategies, tooling feasibility, GD&T, DFMEA, design change management and manufacturing feasibility. I have worked on programmes involving McLaren, JLR, Ford, REE Automotive, Lotus, Rivian and Chrysler, supporting both conventional and electric vehicle development. I can support clients with concept design, 3D modelling, 2D manufacturing drawings, CAD modifications, packaging studies, plastic component design, sheet-metal design, automotive trims, BIW components and design-for-manufacturing activities. I focus on delivering practical, manufacturable and cost-effective engineering solutions while meeting customer requirements, quality standards and project deadlines.

I’m a UK-based Design Engineer with a background in mechanical design, additive manufacturing, prototyping and product development. I enjoy taking ideas from an initial concept through to a functional, manufacturable product, with a particular focus on practical engineering and design for real-world applications. The majority of my experience has been in additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping, where I’ve worked across the full development process — from CAD modelling and concept development through to prototyping, testing and refinement. This has given me a strong understanding of how design decisions affect manufacturing, assembly, performance and cost. I primarily use Fusion 360 for 3D CAD, with experience developing detailed parts, assemblies, mechanisms, enclosures and prototypes. I’m comfortable working from sketches, drawings, photographs, existing components or a rough description of an idea, and turning these into accurate 3D models and production-ready designs. My experience also includes designing for 3D printing and other manufacturing processes, selecting appropriate materials and considering factors such as tolerances, part orientation, strength, assembly and ease of manufacture. I particularly enjoy projects where there is a technical problem to solve rather than simply modelling an existing design. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from small mechanical components and consumer products to more complex prototypes and engineering systems. I’m comfortable adapting my approach depending on the requirements of a project, whether that means creating a quick prototype, developing a refined product design, reverse-engineering a component, or producing detailed CAD for manufacture. I take a straightforward and collaborative approach to projects. I aim to understand what the client actually needs the design to achieve before starting the CAD, and I’m happy to iterate and refine designs based on feedback. I also understand that good CAD is about more than making something look right — it needs to work, be practical to manufacture and make sense as a finished product. If you have an idea that needs turning into CAD, a component that needs redesigning, or a prototype that needs developing, I’d be happy to help.
