About

I am a detail-oriented CAD designer with over 15 years of experience delivering production-ready drawings, 3D models, and enclosures across electronics, interiors, and custom furniture. I excel at turning sketches into manufacturable designs with clear tolerances, BOMs, and robust assembly interfaces.

Collaborative and deadline-driven, I bridge design and manufacturing by working closely with vendors and CNC shops to optimize fabrication. I enjoy mentoring teams and delivering iterative solutions quickly while maintaining high quality.
