About
Designer with a strong foundation in AutoCAD, Inventor, and 3D modeling, experienced in translating creative direction into detailed, manufacturable designs. My background includes 3 years of commercial design experience from IKEA, event pavilion builds, and technical drafting, where I’ve managed projects from concept through execution with budgets up to $20,000. Skilled in working with materials, finishes, and fabrication processes, I also bring practical knowledge of 3D printing and prototyping workflows. I’m adaptable and expanding into Rhino, SolidWorks, and ZBrush to strengthen organic and precision modeling skills. I received my certification in CAD,Prototyping, and 3D Printing from ECPI University, hold a degree in Communications from Old Dominion University, and studied Interior Design at the New York Institute of Art & Design, giving me both technical training and a design-focused perspective. Known for balancing aesthetic integrity with manufacturability, I excel at producing precise 2D drawings, 3D models, and design packages that communicate effectively across teams in fast-paced environments.
