February 1, 2019 - December 1, 2025

Designed and manufactured custom enclosures for boutique analog synthesizers in collaboration with inventor Noritaka Ubukata (Theresyn). Created enclosure concepts and brackets in CAD, producing comprehensive manufacturing packs (BOM, views, sections) enabling repeatable production and a 15% output increase. Translated sketches into 3D models, validated assembly interfaces and clearances to reduce rework. Generated fabrication files (DWG/DXF) for CNC cutting and vendor handoff, shortening batch turnaround by two days. Standardized fastener schemes, panel thicknesses, and mounting hole patterns to streamline assembly; engineered complex dovetail joinery for durability and aesthetics. Managed small-batch production and QA checks.

CAD Designer & Prototype Workshop Lead at Régis Ferrière Illuminations

June 1, 2015 - December 1, 2018

Led CAD development for decorative structures and managed the prototype workshop for large-scale seasonal installations. Created 2D/3D models and drawings of decorative frames and fixtures; released build packs (drawings + BOM + assembly guide), shortening prototype cycles by 20%. Directed a prototype team of 19 and delivered 20+ complex prototypes per season on schedule and within budget. Optimized material utilization via nesting layouts and standardized profiles, reducing material waste by 12% and improving seasonal margins. Coordinated with CNC and finishing suppliers, reducing lead times by 2 days per order through clearer tolerances and datum strategies.
