I am a mechanical engineer with a completed Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and multiple years of practical engineering work experience in CAD design, product development, structural analysis and engineering simulation. My services include 3D CAD modelling, mechanical component and assembly design, technical drawings, design improvements, FEA, CFD, composite laminate analysis and engineering calculations. I have worked on projects involving mechanical systems, electric mobility, composite structures, structural components and designs exposed to demanding environmental and loading conditions. My experience includes developing concepts, creating detailed CAD models, evaluating stresses and deformation, analysing airflow and pressure loads, selecting materials and improving designs for strength, weight, functionality and manufacturability. I primarily work with Siemens NX, Simcenter 3D, NX Nastran and SolidWorks. I can assist with both early-stage concepts and the refinement of existing designs, including preparing models and drawings for manufacturing, prototyping, machining, welding, sheet-metal fabrication and 3D printing. My approach combines practical mechanical design with simulation and analytical validation. I focus on delivering accurate, clearly documented and realistic engineering solutions that can be manufactured and used effectively, rather than producing CAD models that only look correct visually.

I'm an industrial designer with a strong background in manufacturing, prototyping, and design for production. I work hands-on from early sketches through to final execution — with a focus on real-world usability, material efficiency, and clean, functional design. My portfolio includes a mix of commercial products and exploratory work — from Nimuno Loops, a LEGO-compatible adhesive tape that reached a global audience through our Viral Indigogo campaign, to Lumkani, a fire detection system for informal settlements, designed with social impact at its core. I’ve also developed a number of ride-on toys and mobility concepts, which combine my interest and skillsets in mechanics, ergonomics, and playful design. These projects allowed me to explore scale, safety, and movement in new ways — while still working within production, safety, and ergonomic constraints. A strong understanding of intellectual property, including experience with patents, design registrations, and protecting original concepts through to market. I'm proficient in CAD, material selection, and design-for-manufacture, and I enjoy navigating the space between technical problem-solving creative exploration and ensure reaching the goals of the business I work with. I hold a degree in Industrial Design and approach each project with curiosity, clarity, and a focus on bringing useful ideas to life.
