Professional Summary
I make things—things you can touch, twist, take apart, and trust. As a Mechanical Product Designer, I don’t just CAD enclosures and optimize wall thickness. I identify problems worth solving, visualize how a product should feel in hand, and then build it from scratch.
I specialize in plastic part design using SOLIDWORKS, often creating jigs, fixtures, and test setups that support manufacturing or low-volume builds. My work blends DFM, UX, and a maker’s intuition.
