Senior Industrial Designer | IoT & Wearable Enclosures | DFM

Senior Industrial Designer with 8+ years of experience and a Sofeast factory + lab in Shenzhen behind me. I design IoT enclosures, wearables, consumer electronics, and rugged outdoor products from sketch to injection molding ready CAD, with DFM considered from day one. The Sofeast difference (vs. solo freelancers): I’m not designing in a vacuum. Every CAD file I deliver is pressure tested against real factory constraints by Sofeast’s mechanical engineers, mold makers, and QA team. That means fewer surprises, smoother tooling feedback, and fewer revision rounds once production starts. What I design: • IoT devices & wearables - compact enclosures, IP67/IP68 sealing, battery + PCB integration, snag free outdoor geometry, sensor pass throughs • Consumer electronics - earbuds, speakers, smart home products, beauty devices • Rugged, outdoor, livestock & medical related devices - drop resistant, UV stable, electrode integration • Furniture & sports equipment - ergonomic, multi material, fabrication friendly • Home goods, kitchen, pet products, and broader industrial design projects What I deliver: • Concept sketches & ideation • 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Rhinoceros, Fusion 360) - parametric and easy to iterate • Production ready STEP files, 2D technical drawings, GD&T • DFM support - wall thickness, draft angles, gating, sink mark risk, material selection (ABS, PC, PP, POM, TPU) • Photorealistic renders (KeyShot, Vizcom, Midjourney) for pitches, listings, and crowdfunding • Tooling consultation with direct communication with Chinese mold makers Why this matters when your design reaches manufacturing: • Wall thickness, draft angle, and gate placement are reviewed BEFORE tooling investment • Material recommendations are based on real manufacturing processes, not only datasheets • When factories push back on features or geometry, our bilingual team can communicate directly and solve issues faster Manufacturing experience: Plastic injection molding, sheet metal, CNC wood fabrication, die cut packaging, and more. Stats: 100% Job Success Top Rated Plus $100K+ earned on Upwork 5,299 Sofeast agency hours 179 completed jobs Tools: SolidWorks, Rhinoceros 3D, Fusion 360, KeyShot, Vizcom, Midjourney, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, AI tools Recent work: Smart wearables, ergonomic phone grips, aroma diffusers, earbuds + charging cases, outdoor cooking products, retrofit lighting, and custom consumer electronics enclosures. If you have an idea, a half finished CAD, or a prototype that needs to survive injection molding, I’d love to take a look.
