I am a CAD designer specialising in residential and commercial cabinetry and joinery, producing manufacturing-ready drawings for kitchens, wardrobes, vanity units, and bespoke built-in furniture. My work focuses on practical, buildable solutions, with particular experience in melamine board construction, sheet-material optimisation, and detailing for CNC production. I regularly develop clear shop drawings that include panel sizes, edging, fixings, tolerances, and installation notes, ensuring designs translate accurately from CAD to factory and site. I have hands-on experience coordinating with both European and Chinese manufacturers, which allows me to design with production constraints, cost efficiency, and material availability in mind. This experience helps reduce revisions, manufacturing errors, and lead-time issues—especially for overseas production.
