About me
Mechanical Product Design Engineer specializing in 3D CAD, mechanical assemblies and product development. I help inventors, startups, kitchenware brands and manufacturers turn complex product ideas into functional, manufacturable solutions. From concept development and mechanical modeling to technical drawings, DFM and prototype preparation, I focus on accuracy, usability and production requirements. My approach identifies mechanical issues early, helping reduce prototype failures, costly redesigns and manufacturing delays.... Read more

I work on the development of mechanical and consumer products, helping clients transform early concepts into functional and manufacturing focused product solutions. My work covers concept development, mechanical architecture, 3D CAD modeling, part and assembly development, technical drawings, prototype preparation and design for manufacturing. I work with products that require careful consideration of moving components, part interfaces, clearances, tolerances, ergonomics, material selection and manufacturing processes. A common challenge is that an early product concept may look correct visually but contain mechanical conflicts, difficult assembly conditions, weak interfaces or manufacturing problems that only become obvious during prototyping. I address these issues during the development stage by reviewing component relationships, mechanisms, assembly sequences, dimensions and production requirements before finalizing the CAD model. I develop detailed parts and assemblies using professional CAD workflows and prepare manufacturing focused documentation including technical drawings, dimensions, tolerances, exploded views and production files where required. I also refine products based on prototype feedback, identifying the source of failures and modifying the relevant geometry, interfaces or assembly conditions rather than simply correcting surface-level issues. My approach combines product development thinking with mechanical engineering principles. The objective is not only to create an accurate 3D model, but to produce a product that functions properly, can be assembled efficiently, can be manufactured realistically and is less likely to require expensive redesign during prototyping or production.
