MCMaeve Collins
@maevecollins
Multidisciplinary industrial designer specializing in 3D CAD, visualization, and field-to-digital integration.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary designer with experience across industrial design, CAD modeling, electrical distribution, and Navy contractor projects. I collaborate closely with engineering, production, and client teams to deliver accurate, efficient, and innovative design solutions.
In my current role I produce detailed CAD models and technical drawings that support manufacturing and installation of acoustic systems, develop high-fidelity visualizations that eliminate prototypes, and create installation documentation that reduces client inquiries.
My background includes designing power distribution systems to industry standards, redesigning distribution lines to cut costs, and recreating shipboard environments for training to improve mission-readiness. I have delivered measurable efficiency and satisfaction improvements across roles.
I bring strong technical drafting skills (AutoCAD, Rhino, Fusion 360, Revit, SolidWorks), visualization (KeyShot, Adobe Suite), and practical field-to-digital integration experience, and I seek opportunities where I can apply user-centered design and cross-disciplinary collaboration to solve real-world problems.
