About
I’m a highly experienced Digital Modeler with over 27 years of expertise shaping complex surfaces and forms for the automotive and aviation industries. With a deep understanding of Class-A surfacing, 3D modeling workflows, and industry-specific design standards, I specialize in transforming concept designs into production-ready digital models.
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated closely with industrial designers, engineers, and design studios to bring innovative vehicle and aircraft concepts to life, balancing aesthetic vision with engineering precision. My work spans across major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, contributing to the development of both exterior and interior surfaces for production and prototype programs.
Proficient in tools like Autodesk Alias and Siemens NX and some knowledge on Icem Surf and Catia. I bring a meticulous eye for detail, strong problem-solving skills, and a commitment to delivering high-quality digital surfaces that meet both design intent and manufacturing feasibility.
