I help startups, small businesses, and independent inventors turn product ideas into detailed, functional, and manufacturable designs. I’m an experienced Industrial Designer and Mechanical Engineer specializing in product design, 3D CAD, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). Whether you have a rough sketch, an early concept, or a product that’s already been designed but needs further development, I can help take it from concept to a well-developed, production-ready product. My background combines industrial design and mechanical engineering, allowing me to consider aesthetics, functionality, engineering, and manufacturing from the beginning. Rather than simply creating a CAD model from an existing design, I help develop the product itself and make the design decisions needed to turn an idea into something that can actually be built. What I can help with: Industrial Design: Product form, proportions, aesthetics, concept development, and product visualization Mechanical Engineering: 3D CAD, assemblies, mechanisms, moving parts, component design, and mechanical problem solving DFM: Design optimization for injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing, including draft, wall thickness, ribs, parting lines, tolerances, and assembly considerations Manufacturing Documentation: Production-ready STEP files, 2D engineering drawings, exploded views, and manufacturing documentation Prototyping: Designs optimized for 3D printing, rapid prototyping, functional testing, and iterative development I take a practical approach to product development, considering design, functionality, manufacturability, and cost throughout the process. The goal is to develop solutions that look good, function properly, and can be realistically prototyped and manufactured. I primarily work in Fusion 360 and Blender and can support projects ranging from early-stage product concepts and prototypes to detailed, manufacturing-ready designs. If you have an idea you're trying to turn into a real product, feel free to reach out. Whether you're an established business or an independent inventor developing your first product, I'm happy to discuss your project and figure out the best next step.
