About

I am a Mechanical CAD Designer and Product Development Specialist with over 8 years of experience in 3D CAD modelling, mechanical engineering design, industrial design, and product development.

I specialize in transforming concepts, sketches, technical drawings, and reference images into detailed 3D models, mechanical components, assemblies, and functional product designs.

My services include mechanical part and assembly modelling, industrial product design, PCB and electronic enclosure design, sheet-metal components, injection-moulded plastic parts, CNC machining preparation, 3D-printing and prototyping, engineering drawings, and 3D product visualization. I also undertake architectural modelling and other specialized 3D design projects.

I approach every project with attention to dimensional accuracy, functionality, design intent, manufacturability, and professional presentation. I value clear communication, organized CAD files, thoughtful problem-solving, and reliable project delivery.

Whether you are developing a new product, refining an existing design, preparing components for manufacturing, or bringing an engineering concept to life, I am ready to help turn your requirements into professional CAD solutions.

Let's discuss your next project.

Experience

Freelance Mechanical CAD Designer & Product Development Specialist Self employed | freelance · Freelance Nov 2026 – Present 0 mos Nigeria · Remote Working as an independent Mechanical CAD Designer and Product Development Specialist, providing professional 3D design, engineering modelling, and product development services across multiple industries.

My work involves developing accurate CAD models, mechanical components, assemblies, product concepts, and technical documentation based on client requirements, engineering specifications, sketches, and reference materials.

Key areas of responsibility and specialization include:

• Mechanical CAD design and 3D modelling
• Mechanical parts and assembly development
• Industrial and consumer product design
• 3D product development and prototyping
• PCB and electronic enclosure design
• Plastic product and injection-moulding design
• Sheet-metal components and fabrication modelling
• CNC machining-oriented component design
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Engineering and manufacturing drawings
• 3D printing and prototype preparation
• Architectural and building 3D modelling
• Product visualization and technical presentation

I work with a strong focus on dimensional accuracy, functional requirements, organized CAD models, manufacturing considerations, and professional documentation.

My responsibilities also include reviewing project specifications, interpreting technical references, developing design solutions, refining models based on feedback, and preparing agreed deliverables in suitable CAD and technical file formats.

I prioritize clear communication, attention to detail, practical problem-solving, and delivering designs that meet the intended project requirements.

Education

University of Lagos Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineeering, Second Class Upper Division (2:1) 2013 – 2018 Activities and Societies: University of Lagos Engineering Society (ULES); Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NIMechE), UNILAG Student Forum. Completed a five-year undergraduate programme in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Lagos, developing a strong academic foundation in engineering mechanics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes, mechanical systems, and computer-aided design (CAD).

The programme provided theoretical and practical exposure to engineering principles, technical problem-solving, mechanical design, and manufacturing applications.

Completed industrial training through the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), gaining practical exposure to engineering operations and workplace applications.

Undertook an independent final-year engineering project involving mechanical design and analysis, applying engineering principles to the development and evaluation of a technical solution.

This academic background established a foundation in mechanical engineering, technical design, analytical thinking, and engineering problem-solving.

Other experience

Independent Engineering Design Projects & Technical Development Engaged in independent engineering design projects and continuous technical development, applying mechanical engineering principles and CAD modelling skills to practical design challenges.

Areas of practical development include mechanical component modelling, product design, industrial 3D modelling, mechanical assemblies, electronic product enclosures, PCB housing design, sheet-metal components, plastic product development, manufacturing-oriented design, 3D printing and architectural modelling.

Through project-based work, I have developed practical experience in interpreting technical drawings, sketches and design references, creating detailed 3D CAD models, evaluating component dimensions and fit, refining design geometry, and preparing technical files for visualization, prototyping and manufacturing applications.

I maintain a continuous learning approach to engineering design, focusing on improved modelling techniques, dimensional accuracy, practical functionality, design efficiency and manufacturing considerations.
