Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support companies, startups, and manufacturers in the design and development of products, from idea to prototype and industrialization.

An industrial designer graduated from Loughborough University (UK), I am involved in the entire development process to design innovative, functional products ready for manufacturing. Each project is conceived to reconcile design, technical performance, industrial feasibility, and cost control.

My services include:

• Product design and development

• Industrial design

• 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks)

• Technical drawings and manufacturing files

• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

• Prototyping and industrialization support

• Photorealistic renderings and 3D animations

I work in various sectors such as industrial equipment, technical products, furniture, custom-made objects, mechanical devices, medical, outdoor equipment, and products for small or large series production.

Each project is developed with a collaborative approach, taking into account technical constraints, manufacturing processes, materials, assembly, production costs, and user experience. My goal is to offer realistic, optimized solutions that are directly usable by manufacturers.

Thanks to my workshop equipped with a CNC and prototyping capabilities, I can also produce functional prototypes, manufacture custom parts, and quickly test concepts before industrialization. This approach allows for the validation of technical choices from the early stages of development and reduces risks during production.

My goal is to transform an idea into a reliable, manufacturable product ready for commercialization, while providing rigorous, responsive, and results-oriented support.
