Over the years as a freelancer, I have designed and developed several unique products for my clients. Whether the design is needed for presentation, prototyping, or manufacturing, I make sure each design is fully functional, printable, and meets the design requirements given to me by my clients. I have done projects in several different fields, including medical, gaming, educational, recreational, ann many more.
For this project, a manager from Northwestern Medicine tasked me with designing a 3D-printable case that functions as both a tablet holder and a protective enclosure for defibrillator equipment. The case needed to allow easy access to the device while providing ample interior space for battery installation. Additionally, it had to be durable enough to withstand the heavy wear and tear expected from use in an emergency situation by an EMT professional.
For this innovative product, my client was interested in creating a fish feeder that would hold algae sheets and prevent them from floating away. I designed a container that not only could be either attached to the wall or sink to the floor of an aquarium but is also perfectly disguised as a piece of coral. This was achieved using a 3D scan of a real piece of coral to ensure that the model is as accurate as possible. The model is designed to have gaps large enough for the fish to eat the algae on the inside and is very easy to detach and replace the sheets when needed.
This client needed several new components made for his miniature trains. Some pieces needed to be made from scratch, others needed to be modified for 3D printing. All of the made-from-scratch components were made using photos and blueprints of real train parts. Components like the caboose roofs seen in the above image required extreme precision and compound curves in order to properly match the rest of the train parts.
This is a custom contact lens inserter that is designed to fit on top of a pen light, making it easier to see when inserting the lens. The model is designed to be easily turned into a mold for manufacturing and has been stress tested for different flexible materials that would be used in the final product. In addition to the pen light inserter, two other inserters were designed for everyday use.
This model is a custom skull designed to be a reusable asset for training medical students. The skull is separated into three pieces. The bottom piece holds a gelatin brain, the main top part locks it in place, and the smaller top piece is actually used for a mold that creates a cast out of a material similar to bone. The entire top of the skull is then covered by a skin-like material, allowing students to practice brain surgery without wasting costly materials on a completely disposable head model.
For this project, my client requested a visually striking music production desk for their new studio. The design not only emphasizes aesthetics but also incorporates modular components, allowing the client to easily replace sections when upgrading or changing equipment. This ensures the desk remains functional and adaptable for long-term use.
