What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a project designer with four years of design experience and a strong background in CNC programming. My expertise includes using CAM Works, Wood-WOP, SWOOD, CorelDraw, and AutoCAD, along with a year of detailing experience using Microvellum. I possess a Post-Graduation in Practical Elements of Mechanical Engineering and Supply Chain Management, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in both design and production activities.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and modeled custom installations, ensuring alignment with project timelines and client specifications. My role at PTNR Productions involves creating 3D CAD models and 2D drawings, resolving design challenges, and supporting cross-functional teams with technical expertise. I pride myself on my strong communication skills, which help me articulate design solutions effectively to clients and internal teams alike.

In my previous positions, I have produced comprehensive design packages and collaborated closely with project management and production teams to ensure project success. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge and experience as a designer to contribute to innovative projects and drive efficiency in design processes.
