About
3D CAD designer, concept to production prototype engineer, creative, and problem solver. If you're an entrepreneur looking to get professional renderings done for marketing purposes, you need a printed prototype to test, or you need to take a prototype to full-scale production, I have experience with each. I'm flexible on my rate depending on the job and typically spend more time than I bill to make sure my clients are 100% satisfied.
