About
I’m an automotive digital sculptor and CAD specialist with 15+ years of professional experience developing high-quality 3D surfaces and models for the automotive industry.
My primary specialty is Autodesk Alias and NURBS modeling. I’ve worked on major vehicle programs and led digital sculpting efforts for Ford design studios, including Mustang and Bronco programs. I bring the same level of precision, surface quality, and design understanding to freelance projects.
I can help with everything from concept development and sketch-to-CAD modeling to complex NURBS surfacing, Class-A surface refinement, production-ready geometry, and design visualization. I’m also highly proficient in Rhino.
If you need more than basic CAD drafting—if you need someone who understands design intent, proportion, surface quality, manufacturability, and how to turn an idea into polished professional geometry—I can help.
I’m available for individual projects, ongoing development work, and specialized CAD support for designers, engineers, startups, and manufacturers.
