Libia C.
Footwear & Product Designer | Rhino 3D | 3D CAD Modeling
About
I use Rhino 3D to translate concepts and sketches into dimensional product designs, with a strong understanding of form, proportion, construction, materials, and manufacturability. My experience bridges creative design and the commercial realities of bringing products to market.
I’m available for freelance Rhino 3D modeling, product and footwear design, concept development, design modifications, and prototype-ready CAD work. I’m especially interested in projects where strong design thinking matters as much as accurate execution.
