Iurii M.
Furniture Design Engineer | CAD Specialist | Remote
About
I am a furniture manufacturing specialist with over 8 years of hands-on experience, progressing from carpenter to production manager. Throughout my career, I have developed and delivered more than 500 custom furniture projects, including residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors. I have a complete understanding of the entire production cycle: from receiving technical specifications and creating detailed designs to handing over documentation to the workshop and supervising installation.
My core expertise lies in technical furniture design and engineering. I specialize in designing case goods (kitchens, wardrobes, cabinets, bar counters), developing structural joints and interfaces, and solving complex geometric challenges. I am proficient in creating production-ready drawings, cutting plans (nesting), and specifications, as well as calculating materials and hardware requirements.
