Available to hire
Hi, I’m Carlos Andrés Calderón, an industrial designer based in Cali, Colombia, specializing in 3D modeling, CAD, and graphic design for manufacturing and digital media. I’ve led design projects through my Nihil Studio, created end-to-end solutions with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, Creo, and Adobe Creative Suite, and collaborated with clients to turn concepts into production-ready visuals and parts.
I’m continuing to grow my practice with data visualization and Power BI, and I recently completed a Master’s in Project Management. I value hands-on problem solving, cross-disciplinary teamwork, and delivering design that is both aesthetically compelling and practical for manufacturing.
