I provide mechanical CAD design and additive manufacturing support for engineers, product developers, and manufacturers who need reliable, production-ready models—not conceptual sketches. My work focuses on functional parts, mechanical assemblies, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) for additive processes. I regularly support clients with prototyping, test-fit iterations, and preparation of models for small-batch production or vendor handoff. Unlike generalist CAD freelancers, my background includes hands-on manufacturing, print validation, and QA inspection, which allows me to design parts that account for real-world constraints such as tolerances, fasteners, material behavior, and assembly requirements. Typical engagements include: • Mechanical part modeling from concept or reference • Refinement of existing CAD for manufacturability • Tolerance-aware assemblies and fastener integration • Additive manufacturing optimization (FDM-focused) • Prototype iteration and documentation support I work well with engineers, startups, and shops that value clear communication, fast iteration, and technically grounded design decisions.

I'm a freelance CAD designer with a uniquely hands-on background that bridges creativity, engineering, and real-world manufacturing. My journey began as a curious, creative kid constantly building and drawing — a passion that ultimately led me through a diverse and skill-rich path: from earning certifications as an automotive technician and CNC machinist, to apprenticing as a manufacturing engineering technician in high-precision aerospace environments. Driven to expand my design capabilities, I returned to college and earned a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. During that time, I also worked as an optical lab technician — refining my attention to precision, optics, and fine-tuned craftsmanship. Today, I bring all of these experiences together to offer CAD services with a strong foundation in real-world fabrication, mechanical systems, and design for manufacturing. I specialize in 3D modeling, technical drafting, and developing functional, production-ready designs. I'm always looking for projects that challenge me to grow and push the limits of my design and engineering skills. Let’s build something great together.

I have been 3d modeling for 14 years. I have extensive experience in aircraft upholstery design, sheetmetal design and design for 3d printing, using design for manufacturing practices.
