Industrial Designer | SolidWorks CAD, DFM, Prototyping, Product Design

Hello! I'm an industrial designer from Canada! I have almost a decade of hands-on experience turning concepts into real-world products. My background spans consumer electronics, autonomous vehicles, and all-electric travel trailers. From designing compact camera housings that showcased at CES, to leading full mechanical and electrical integration on self-driving trucks now operating on U.S. roads, to designing the interiors of trailers for Pebble RV. I take ideas from concept through prototyping, testing, and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) ,backed by my own in-house workshop with CNC and 3D printing, so I can turn designs into tangible prototypes fast. Outside of client work, I've built and converted 10+ camper vans from scratch for off-grid living : full electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, and vehicle mods, each one taken from concept to completion on my own. It's given me a real, hands-on understanding of durability and manufacturability that shows up in everything I design! I've led major projects from concept to production, securing million-dollar contracts and setting documentation standards along the way , including detailed BOMs and inventory processes that keep projects precise and on track. If you're looking for a designer who combines strong CAD, DFM, and mechanical design skills with real hands-on manufacturing experience, let's talk. I'd love to help bring your project to life!
