i'm a professional designer who is seeking freelance and contract 3D modeling and rendering jobs to supplement my income. If you are looking for someone to help you flesh out a concept into a design, I can help. I also have some mechanical engineering experience, because I design actual products that need to be manufactured. I will give you overall functional product construction without each screw placement, however. I'm open to short and quick jobs and really flexible on what kind of work you're seeking to do. For a more detailed list of what my experience covers, continue reading below. I'm an experienced home hard goods designer (furniture, lighting fixtures & tabletop decor). After graduating from RISD, I worked at a consultancy that designed office furniture and architectural lighting. One of my office furniture designs won Best of Neocon in 2002. I designed office furniture for Kimball Office and lighting for Nessen, D'ac and LAM. Since then, I've designed both high-end custom pieces working with small-scale artisans as well as mass market outdoor furniture and lighting targeted at Big Box retailers including Lowe's Hardware, Sam's Club, The Home Depot and Macy's. Working at both larger companies with in-house product development managers to smaller manufacturers where I've worn all the hats from art director for print, photoshoots, website and showroom to project management from concept to delivery. As a multi-faceted designer with a wealth of experience, I am able to take the parameters you set (price, target market segment, manufacturing constraints) and produce compelling design that fits those parameters. One key strength is that I am able to synthesize the subjective qualities (look & feel) that you are targeting by embodying it into a physical product. I live very comfortably in that space. Making the subjective into the objective. I look forward to working with you.
