About

I’m a product designer and CAD specialist with over 15 years of experience in packaging and plastic product development. Since 2010, I’ve been working with 3D modeling for injection, blow, and extrusion molding, as well as mold design and part customization.

Currently, I work in the medical industry, developing new machines and plastic components using high-performance and biocompatible materials. I combine design and engineering to deliver functional and precise solutions, and I use 3D printing to validate my projects before production.
