I was tasked by clients to develop CAD models, renders, technical drawings, and design consultation.

My Work:
Communicated effectively with clients, boosting their design process by 25% while helping point out mistakes and areas of improvement on designs.
1) Reached out and set meetings immediately for clarifications, ensuring a 90% smooth process.
2) Provided consultation and guidance on potential actions clients could take for their projects, providing at least 10% guidance.

- Solved the locking mechanism for a 3-part dog bowl that allowed product adjustability and accessibility which allowed the client’s design idea to be feasible for production.
o This set the client’s work apart with only 2 out of 5 of them with a working prototype.
- Fixed and created 90% of technical specifications for the dog bowl for manufacturing standards and prototype testing.
- Created technical drawings with orthograph, bill of materials, and assemblies.
- Created 33 simple renders using Keyshot and Solidworks and Cinema4D for 3d modeling to create realistic visuals of clients’ products.

𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵
- Reviewed existing models, created technical drawings, and discovered and fixed at least 8% of areas for design improvements for manufacturing feasibility.
- Created 1 complex render following detailed specifications from the clients, even suggested potential render setups helping create a convincing product placement that could positively impact their product pitch to convince panelists of its compactness.

I was tasked to help ease projects in the company by developing CAD models and technical drawings with pictures, written specifications, and research.

My Contributions:
1) Created 24 furniture design models with technical specifications using Sketchup, AutoCAD, Solidworks, and Illustrator for 2 months.
2) Made technical drawings for 9 patterns, 24 furniture designs, 1 product, and 7 assemblies
3) Helped in creating a legacy display piece by creating the lase print file, speeding the process for manufacturing

I became part of a collaborative team with other design apprentices. We were tasked and taught how to develop blind box toys and designer toys.

We were tasked to conduct research, pitch ideas, provide feedback, and iterate concepts until design finalization.

My Contributions:
1) Conducted market research and trends analysis and proposed a designer toy idea which received 44.4% voting before winning as a potential marketable blind box series concept. Won due to the relevance of the concept and well-defined target users during the pandemic.
2) Developed 2 designer toys that fit the designs with collaborators for a blind box toy series that could still be potentially produced and distributed.
3) Researched and proposed 4 designer toy concepts and developed one design with concept generation, creating a potentially marketable design, ready for modeling.
