About
I'm a chemical engineer (BSc, University of Lagos) who designs production-ready 3D parts, assemblies and 2D manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD. I combine an engineering mindset with clean CAD modeling, so the files I deliver are accurate, easy to edit and ready for your fabricator, machine shop, 3D printer or manufacturer.
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
3D mechanical and product modeling
- Parts and assemblies built as parametric, fully editable models
- Consumer products, housings, enclosures, brackets, mounts, clips and functional components
- Designs created with manufacturing (DFM) in mind: sensible wall thickness, draft, tolerances, fits and assembly order
- Redesigns and modifications of existing models, including fixing errors in a model that won't rebuild or test correctly
- 2D-to-3D conversion from sketches, PDFs, photos and technical drawings
2D manufacturing and technical drawings
- Detailed part and assembly drawings with dimensions, tolerances, notes, title block and bill of materials (BOM)
- Drawings set up to your CAD standard (layers, line weights, text styles)
- As-built updates, redrafting and cleanup of existing drawings
Process and plant equipment (my specialty)
- Tanks, vessels and hoppers: layout, sizing inputs, nozzles and supports
- Piping and skid layouts, equipment arrangement and plant or shop-floor layouts
- Simple process equipment concepts turned into clear 3D models and drawings that a fabricator can quote from
- My chemical engineering background means I understand flow, materials and process requirements, not only geometry
Prototype-ready files
- Models prepared for 3D printing (FDM and resin), CNC machining, sheet metal, casting and molding
- Clean STEP, STL, DWG, DXF and PDF exports, plus native SolidWorks or Fusion 360 files when you need them
SOFTWARE
SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion 360, AutoCAD (2D drafting and drawings)
HOW I WORK
1. Brief review: I read your brief and files carefully, then confirm dimensions, materials, quantities, standards and the manufacturing method before I start. If something is unclear or missing, I ask early instead of guessing.
2. Plan: I tell you what I will deliver, what I need from you and a realistic timeline.
3. Progress updates: I share screenshots or work-in-progress files at key points so you can correct course before it costs you time.
4. Delivery: you receive clean, well-organized files with sensible feature names and the exports you asked for.
5. Revisions: I welcome revision rounds until the design matches your intent, and I keep every change documented.
WHAT HELPS ME GET STARTED FAST
- A sketch, reference photos or existing CAD files
- Key dimensions and any critical tolerances or standards
- Material and intended manufacturing process
- How the part will be used, and any constraints such as weight, size or budget
- Your deadline and the file formats you need
WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME
- Engineering background: I think about how the part is made, assembled and used, not only how it looks
- Clear communication: I reply promptly and keep you informed, with no surprises
- Attention to detail: dimensions, tolerances and notes are checked before delivery
- Honest scoping: if a job needs a specialist sign-off, such as certified structural or pressure-vessel calculations, I will say so up front
- Reliable files: editable, organized and ready to hand to a manufacturer
I'm based in Lagos, Nigeria (GMT+1) and work remotely with clients worldwide. Send me your sketch, reference photos or existing files, and I'll tell you honestly what it takes and how long.

Activities and Societies:

My chemical engineering degree trained me to turn a requirement into a working, buildable design. That is the same discipline I now apply to 3D mechanical and product design in SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD.
CORE FOUNDATIONS THAT SHAPE HOW I DESIGN
- Fluid mechanics: how liquids and gases move through pipes, nozzles, pumps and vessels, which matters for tanks, piping layouts and any part that carries flow.
- Heat and mass transfer: how heat and material move through equipment, which helps me think about wall thickness, materials and equipment arrangement.
- Thermodynamics and process principles: understanding the operating conditions a piece of equipment has to survive before drawing it.
- Process and plant design: equipment selection, sizing inputs, process flow, plant layout and the practical limits of fabrication.
- Engineering drawing and technical communication: reading and producing dimensioned drawings that other people can build from.
- Materials and corrosion: choosing sensible materials for the duty, temperature and environment.
- Engineering mathematics and problem solving: working through constraints, checking numbers and documenting assumptions.
HOW THIS HELPS MY CLIENTS
- I read a design brief like an engineer: I ask about operating conditions, materials, loads and manufacturing method before I model anything.
- I design process equipment such as tanks, vessels, hoppers, skids and plant layouts with an understanding of what the equipment actually does, not only what it looks like.
- I document dimensions, assumptions and notes clearly, so fabricators, machinists and manufacturers can quote and build with fewer questions.
- I know the limits of my role. When a job needs certified calculations or a licensed engineer's sign-off, I say so up front and keep the design work separate from that sign-off.
CAD DESIGN SKILLS
I apply this engineering foundation using SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD for 3D parts and assemblies, 2D manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and prototype-ready files for 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal and casting.
Other experience
- Process Equipment & Plant Layout Design Knowledge of chemical engineering principles and their application to process equipment design and industrial layout development. Familiar with conceptual design and CAD modeling of storage tanks, pressure vessels, hoppers, piping arrangements, equipment supports, and process skids. Apply an understanding of fluid flow, material properties, equipment functionality, and spatial requirements when developing process equipment concepts and plant layout representations.
- Technical Drawing & Engineering Documentation Skilled in preparing and interpreting engineering drawings and technical documentation for mechanical design and manufacturing applications. Experienced in producing dimensioned part drawings, assembly drawings, detailed annotations, tolerances, title blocks, and bills of materials. Use AutoCAD and SolidWorks to translate design concepts into clear technical documentation that supports fabrication, inspection, assembly, and manufacturing workflows.
- Product Development & Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Experience in developing functional product designs with consideration for manufacturing processes, assembly requirements, material selection, and dimensional accuracy. Apply design-for-manufacturing principles when creating mechanical components, housings, enclosures, brackets, and product assemblies. Consider wall thickness, clearances, tolerances, fits, and production methods to develop practical designs suitable for CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding.
