About
I am an experienced CAD designer and drafting professional with nearly 40 years of hands-on experience in the construction and building trades, including owning and operating my own contracting business.
Throughout my career, I have prepared architectural drawings, construction plans, and shop drawings for my own clients and projects. This practical background gives me a valuable understanding of how designs translate from the drawing board to real-world construction and fabrication.
For the past five years, I have worked as a freelance CAD professional, specializing in residential architectural design, renovations, additions, structural steel detailing, and fabrication drawings.
My experience includes custom home design, floor plans, elevations, construction documentation, and detailed fabrication drawings for steel and aluminum fabrication, including material schedules and production-ready shop drawings.
I work comfortably from conceptual sketches, existing plans, and client specifications to develop accurate, organized drawing packages.
I take pride in clear communication, practical problem-solving, and dependable service. My goal is to deliver drawings that are not only accurate and professional but also reflect a genuine understanding of how things are built.
