About
My portolio: seasaltstudio.it
I design yacht and marine products that are ready for real production. No unrealistic geometry. No surprises at the factory.
I help marine manufacturers, boat builders, and refit specialists turn ideas into functional, beautiful components that perform in harsh conditions. My background in industrial design gives me strong aesthetics, and my experience in manufacturing keeps every decision practical.
What I deliver
• Production-ready Rhino and SolidWorks models
• Mold-ready and CNC-friendly CAD
• Mechanical fit and assembly planning
• Corrosion-resistant design with marine-grade materials
• Photorealistic KeyShot renders for marketing and approvals
• Clear drawings and documentation for fabrication
Marine products I design
• Yacht interior components
• Helm stations, seating systems, custom storage
• Hardware: cleats, hinges, latches, hatches, brackets
• Waterproof product enclosures and lighting housings
• Custom accessories for aftermarket upgrades
Clients choose to work with me because I think ahead about manufacturing and integration. My goal is to save time, reduce revisions, and make the production path smooth from day one.
If you want your next marine product to look premium and be built without headaches, send me a message. I would love to support your project.
