About

Hi! My name is Rolando! 🚀

I'm a professional Industrial Designer, Architectural Designer, and self-taught UI/UX Designer with over a decade of experience in the design industry. Being a multi-disciplinary designer, my clients feel that I bring a great deal of perspective to projects. I'm currently working on something in the luxury cookware space; ask me about it! I can help you with things like:

- Design, engineer, prototype, and manufacture your physical product. Working mainly in Fusion 360, I also have experience in Inventor and Solidworks. I can 3D model in solid, surface, or mesh modeling, create a sheet metal layout, molds for injection molding, use generative design (A.I. influenced design) for product iterations, generate product tool paths for 5-Axis CNC machines, perform advanced simulations, build animations, fabricate photo-realistic renderings, and produce technical drawings with bill of materials. I can also use my network of manufactures to ensure we build your working prototype.

- Design and 3D model your residential or commercial project. I have been working in the high-end residential space in both Florida and Massachusetts for over six years. Mainly working on projects ranging from 4,500SqFt to well over 17,000SqFt, I can ensure you your house is built exactly as you envision it. For developers, I work on spec homes and can also create floor plan layouts with added options, and unit floor plans for your multi-family projects, including 3D model floor plans for website marketing purposes.

- Fully design and prototype mobile apps from front to back using Figma. I mainly design apps for iOS products, but am able to create frames for Android, Google Pixel, and Websites. I can layout a solid product roadmap, sketch low-fidelity wireframes, build user flows, and produce a competitive analysis for your product. I can even generate high-fidelity renderings for marketing purposes. Show people what your app does and how it looks!

- Consulting clients is also another option I have available. Sometimes people already know what they want to build and just need help building it. If you have technical drawings, or if you have napkin sketches, I can provide additional support to your team, or help you get your product organized the way you have it figured out.

I am extremely passionate about design and really like coming up with new ideas. I've had the opportunity to work with some great founders and always enjoy hearing about startups. Let me know if there is any way I can help you with your product. Looking forward to working with you! 🌱
