I turn 2D artwork and concepts into production-ready 3D CAD and CNC programs. My background is hands-on: I spent years as a CNC programmer and lead operator running an industrial flatbed router, where I designed the parts, wrote the CAM, and machined them myself. That means my models are built to actually cut and assemble, not just to look good in a render. I work primarily in Fusion 360, with AutoCAD for 2D. Core strengths: - 2D artwork (SVG, AI, EPS, DXF) to manufacturable 3D CAD - Parametric product, furniture, and casework design - 2.5D and full 3D relief, inlay, and engraving geometry - Reverse engineering from images and reference parts - Complete CAM: adaptive roughing, 3D finishing, drilling, contours - Production-ready files in STEP, STL, and OBJ I have authored CNC post-processors from scratch and built AI-assisted CAD/CAM workflows, so I am comfortable taking a project from raw artwork all the way to a file that runs clean on the machine. If you want a designer who understands both sides, the design and the manufacturing, that is exactly what I do.

I am a mechanical engineer and have worked in some sort of design or manufacturing setting for almost 10 years. I specialize in helping companies do three things: 1. Making your product more cost-efficient to produce 2. Refining your product so that it is easy for the customer to use 3. Accelerating your development process. I know speed is key when getting any new project started so I get you what you need ASAP. Some of my accomplishments so far -Helped a company that raised 500k in crowdfunding to develop the product they are now selling, reducing their manufacturing cost by over 20% -Helped a company raise their first round of funding by designing and prototyping their first product -Worked with product development firms with large customers to work out kinks in their designs and fabricate their prototypes -Worked with another crowdfunding campaign to make develop their beta-testing product. -Designed tooling for robotic arms to automate manufacturing processes resulting in massive reduction in labor cost I am proficient in the following disciplines -SolidWorks 2018 -Inventor 2018 -FEA (Finite Element Analysis - finding the weak points in a structural design) -Rapid prototyping (3D Printing, CNC Machining, etc.) -Design for manufacturing I work with a small 3D Printing company here in Chicago that can produce very high quality 3D prints with an excellent turnaround time. I also have a complete workshop with saws/mills/drills/CNC where I can build pieces or prototypes for virtually any project. I love working with startups to get their product moving. I like the fast pace environment and love seeing something we work on go to market.

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
