AutoCAD Designer & Drafter | 3D Modeler

Freelance AutoCAD Designer & Drafter | Architectural & Commercial Projects I am a freelance AutoCAD designer and drafter with extensive experience producing clear, accurate, and construction-ready drawings for architectural, commercial, and industrial projects. My focus is on drafting execution—turning concepts, markups, and redlines into precise documents that are easy to build from. I work daily in AutoCAD and am highly proficient in scaled drawing production and full PaperSpace workflows, including title blocks, viewports, annotation scaling, x‑references, and disciplined layer standards. I deliver clean layouts, plans, elevations, sections, and details suitable for permitting, construction, and as-built documentation. My background includes long-term work within the engineering and construction industry, which gives me a strong understanding of design intent without approaching projects from an overly engineering‑heavy perspective. This allows me to support architects, contractors, developers, and consultants who need dependable drafting support without unnecessary complexity. I have experience supporting architectural and commercial spaces, including coordination of floor plans, layouts, and construction details, as well as working alongside teams using 3D models to ensure alignment between models and 2D drawings. One of my key strengths is construction experience. I have seen designs through installation and field execution, worked directly with construction teams, and updated drawings based on real-world conditions. I draft with constructability in mind—helping reduce RFIs, rework, and confusion in the field.
