    I am a passionate CAD Designer and Mechanical Engineer who truly enjoys bringing ideas to life through design and engineering. I specialize in creating precise 3D models, detailed technical drawings, photorealistic renderings and animations that help clients turn their concepts into production-ready realities.

    With years of experience working on product design, mechanical assemblies, 3D printing, and conceptual development, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with engineers, inventors, and manufacturers worldwide. I’m proficient in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and KeyShot, ensuring that every design I deliver is both technically sound and visually refined.

    I take pride in my attention to detail, quick turnaround, and commitment to understanding every client’s vision before translating it into a functional design. Whether it’s refining an existing product, developing a new prototype, or producing accurate drawings for manufacturing, my goal is always the same — to deliver designs that work beautifully in the real world.

    When I’m not modeling or rendering, I’m sharpening my skills in CNC programming and exploring new ways to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing.
