Senior product designer and CAD specialist with 15+ years of experience turning product ideas, sketches, and rough concepts into practical 3D models, technical drawings, prototypes, and production-ready design files. I specialise in product design, 3D CAD modelling, electronics enclosures, injection-moulded parts, component packaging, ergonomic refinement, DFM, exploded views, and product visualisation. I have experience working with local South African fabricators and suppliers, as well as overseas suppliers and manufacturers in China. I can help with concept development, CAD modelling, design refinement, manufacturing drawings, supplier handover files, and realistic product renders. I have professional SolidWorks experience and can work from SolidWorks files if supplied. My current CAD delivery is mainly through Onshape and neutral formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, and PDF.

I am a senior mechanical design professional with over 12 years of experience in manufacturing-focused engineering environments. My background combines detailed 3D CAD modeling, mechanism and motion system design, and real-world production exposure. I specialize in taking ideas or rough concepts and developing them into fully engineered mechanical solutions. My work includes mechanism synthesis, force and load calculations, hydraulic and actuator-driven systems, detailed assembly modeling, and manufacturing-ready drawing packages. I have extensive experience using Autodesk Inventor to develop parametric models and complex assemblies that are built and used in real industrial environments. I have led and contributed to projects involving reverse engineering, special-purpose machinery, mechanical tool design, and system redesign for improved performance and manufacturability. My approach is practical and grounded in production realities, ensuring that designs are not only functional but also buildable and maintainable. I am particularly strong in mechanism and motion-based systems, where careful consideration of force paths, tolerances, and dynamic behavior is critical. I enjoy solving technically challenging mechanical problems and producing clear, structured engineering documentation. Services I offer include: Mechanism and linkage design Special purpose machinery design Reverse engineering and redesign 3D CAD modeling and assemblies Manufacturing drawing packages Motion studies and technical calculations Concept development and technical refinement If you are looking for a mechanical design partner who can move from concept to a technically sound, production-ready solution, I would be glad to discuss your project.

I am a passionate designer with a keen eye for detail and a love for all things design. With 6 years of experience in the industry, I have had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects, from art-orientated projects to structured client-orientated design projects, personally and collaboratively. My goal is to create innovative and visually stunning designs that meet clients’ objectives, evoke emotion, and engage the audience. I believe that design has the power to transform the world. I am constantly inspired by the intersection of art and functionality, and I strive to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also purposeful and user-centric. I am a firm believer in the importance of research and understanding the target audience, as it allows me to tailor my designs to their needs and aspirations. When it comes to approaching design projects, I believe in a collaborative and iterative process. I enjoy working closely with clients, understanding their goals and aspirations, and translating them into visually compelling designs. Throughout the project, I prioritize effective communication and feedback to ensure that the final result aligns with the client's vision and exceeds their expectations. Areas of Expertise: - Concept Development - Research & Development - Sketching - 3D Modeling (CAD) - Prototyping - Basic Electronics & Coding - Mould Design - Digital Rendering - Brand Design & Development - Technical/Manufacturing Drawings
