Concept-to-production design Took 12+ client products from concept sketch to manufacturing-ready design in Autodesk Fusion 360, managing the full development cycle including research, prototyping, and production handoff. Designed 23 products launched to market by startup clients. Design for Manufacturing results Reduced prototyping costs by 18% per project by catching draft, wall-thickness, and tolerance issues through upfront DFM reviews before tooling was cut. Designed injection-molded enclosures and components optimized for unit production runs, cutting per-unit manufacturing costs through material and part-consolidation decisions. Prepared production packages — 3D models, 2D drawings with GD&T, and BOMs, that allowed clients to move directly to quotes with US and overseas manufacturers without rework. Reverse engineering & problem solving Reverse-engineered legacy or broken parts into accurate parametric Fusion 360 models, restoring supply for discontinued components and eliminating week lead times. Resolved fit and assembly failures for client products by rebuilding tolerance stack-ups, reducing manufacturing defects. Visualization & communication Delivered photorealistic KeyShot renderings and exploded-view animations used in crowdfunding campaigns, investor decks, and Amazon listings. Created clear technical documentation and assembly instructions that reduced client support questions and assembly errors.
