About
With a stellar 10+ years in the design game and a rock-solid background as a Construction Manager, I'm your go-to guru for turning dreams into blueprints and beyond! Picture this: I've cut my teeth in the trenches of construction, mastering the art of getting things done—on time, on budget, and with flair.
Now, I've swapped my hard hat for a CAD cape, diving headfirst into the world of design with an arsenal of skills and a truckload of passion. From architectural plans that make jaws drop to renders that look straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster, I've got the knack for making ideas pop off the screen.
But wait, there's more! I'm not just about pretty pictures—I'm the maestro of precision CAD models that bring concepts to life in the real world. Need something carved out with CNC precision? No problem. Want to 3D print a masterpiece? Consider it done.
I thrive on challenges, pushing boundaries, and making the impossible possible. Whether you're dreaming up the next architectural marvel, engineering a game-changing product, or revolutionizing manufacturing processes, I've got the skills to make it happen.
So, let's ditch the ordinary and embark on an epic journey of creativity, innovation, and design wizardry together. Your vision + my expertise = unstoppable. Let's make magic!

After years of channeling my creativity through freelance drafting/3D projects, I took the plunge into the world of full-time Freelance CAD Designing in 2014. What started as a side hustle quickly blossomed into a thriving career, enabling me to bid farewell to my high-visibility vest and hard hat, along with the 10 cups of coffee needed to brave chilly construction sites.
Now, fully immersed in the realm of CAD design, I've found my true calling and have embraced it wholeheartedly. No longer tethered to the constraints of traditional construction management, I've traded my steel-toed boots for a digital stylus, crafting masterpieces from the comfort of my studio.
