Mechanical engineer with extensive expertise in CAD/CAM-driven product and equipment design, translating complex functional requirements into robust, manufacturable solutions. I specialize in 3D parametric modeling, large assembly development, tolerance stack-up analysis, and design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA), ensuring designs move efficiently from concept through fabrication and production. I have led the development of detailed 3D models, 2D production drawings, and fully controlled bills of materials within PDM/PLM environments, maintaining strict revision control and engineering documentation standards. My work bridges engineering intent and shop-floor execution — optimizing toolpaths, machining strategies, and fabrication workflows to reduce cycle time, improve yield, and eliminate rework. With a strong understanding of materials, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), machining processes, weldments, and mechanical system integration, I design with production in mind from day one. I collaborate closely with manufacturing teams, machinists, fabricators, and external vendors to validate prototypes, refine tolerances, and ensure cost-effective scalability.

Lumière Studios is a Chicago-based technical production firm focused on the execution of complex BIM and visualization mandates. We operate as a strategic, white-label partner for architects, developers, and general contractors, providing the specialized bandwidth required to transition projects from conceptual design to coordinated construction documentation with high velocity. Service Pillars: I. BIM Coordination & Technical Modeling: Our primary mandate involves the authoring of accurate BIM models (LOD 200–400) to support architects and builders in securing approvals and mitigating the risk of costly site errors. We specialize in model creation, clash detection, and scan-to-BIM coordination to identify spatial conflicts before materialization. II. Executive 4K Visualization: Complementing our technical rigor, we leverage a high-end tech stack to transform existing plans into photorealistic 4K assets. These deliverables are engineered to secure stakeholder alignment, drive pre-sales, and facilitate capital ROI. III. Technical 2D Drafting: We produce clear, non-stamped architectural and MEP plan sets, including fabrication and shop drawings for seamless project communication. Commercial Impact: Our technical assets act as a catalyst for project growth. In a benchmark case study, the deployment of our team's high-fidelity visualization assets and video walkthroughs facilitated a 300% increase in a client’s project budget—transforming an initial $400,000 allocation into a $1.6 million project. Operational Governance: Lumière Studios provides non-licensed technical design support only. All instruments of service are intended for coordination and visualization; deliverables must be reviewed and stamped by the licensed professional of record prior to construction. We prioritize technical precision while maintaining strict governance over build-liability. Minimum Project Engagement: $2,000
