About Ingrid

Furniture Designer & Technical Drafter | IMOS · AutoCAD · SketchUp

With 17 years of experience in custom furniture design, I help furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and architects turn ideas into production-ready files — fast and accurately.

I work across the full design-to-production workflow:
• Custom cabinet design and configuration in IMOS
• Technical drawings and floor plans in AutoCAD
• 3D visualisations and client presentations in SketchUp
• Cut lists, edging lists, and hardware schedules
• CNC-ready files optimised for material efficiency

I understand how furniture is actually built — not just how it looks on screen. My designs are dimensionally accurate, production-optimised, and ready for the factory floor without back-and-forth corrections.

Available for one-off projects and ongoing remote collaboration.
