Experience

• Technical Director - Design and Manufacturing Paweł Olkowski Furnidraft Design · Self-employed Mar 2023 – Present 3 yrs 8 mos 14-140 Rogowo, Ostróda County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland I run Furnidraft Design as an external technical office for bespoke joinery manufacturers. We take responsibility for developing an agreed concept into a production-ready design, so the client’s team can hand over the technical work and stay involved in the decisions that need their input.
  
  Technical development:
  I resolve construction, hardware and material interfaces before manufacture. This includes curved joinery, tight tolerances and assemblies that combine timber, board, metal, glass or leather.
  
  Approval and production:
  I prepare coordinated 3D models and approval drawings, then develop the shop drawings, component breakdowns, drilling and machining details, bills of materials and 3D files the workshop needs.
  
  Technical coordination:
  Where we manage the full process, I coordinate directly with the client and workshop, track open decisions, manage revisions through release for manufacture and answer production queries.
  
  CAD and workflow automation:
  I develop parametric models and custom iLogic tools in Autodesk Inventor and Woodwork for Inventor to automate bills of materials and cut lists, keep them aligned with the model and make revisions easier to manage.
