Experienced design drafter with a focus on innovative solutions.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated design drafter with over 25 years of experience, I have honed my skills in custom drafting and design across various industries, including automotive and architectural projects. My journey began at G&S Manufacturing, where I directed operations in a large custom metal manufacturing facility, optimizing production flow and ensuring client satisfaction through meticulous design and drafting.
In my most recent role as a Senior Design Drafter at Schweiss Doors, I led the design and improvement of bi-fold and hydraulic hangar doors, including the creation of a new latching system for the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. My commitment to innovative design solutions and excellence in project completion has consistently driven successful outcomes for my clients. I am passionate about collaborating with teams to ensure safe working conditions and adherence to engineering standards.
