What I'm looking for

I’m looking for CAD design and 3D modeling opportunities in furniture, architecture, or manufacturing. I’d like to contribute to 2D drawings, 3D models, and photorealistic visualizations while continuing to learn and grow in a collaborative team.

I’m a CAD designer and 3D modeler with 15 years of professional experience. I spent 10 years in furniture product design and development, using AutoCAD and SolidWorks. For the past five years, I’ve worked independently with architecture firms, adapting 2D drawings, creating 3D architectural models, and producing photorealistic renderings.

Throughout my career, I’ve also used 3ds Max, SketchUp, and Photoshop. My current workflow uses open-source and other free tools, including Blender, FreeCAD, OpenCAD Studio GIMP and Unreal Engine. I adapt quickly to new design software and workflows.

I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a postgraduate qualification in Production Engineering. I’m interested in opportunities involving CAD drafting, 3D modeling, furniture design, architectural visualization, and manufacturing.
