Hello, I'm Sarah, an industrial designer specializing in CAD modeling, 3D printing, and rapid prototyping. With a passion for bringing ideas to life, I thrive in the creative process of transforming concepts into tangible and functional designs.

Over the years, I have honed my skills in CAD modeling, allowing me to translate innovative ideas into precise and visually appealing digital designs. I have explored VR Gravity Sketch, Solidworks, Blender, and Rhino. My expertise in 3D printing and rapid prototyping further enables me to iterate quickly, facilitating efficient design development and bringing prototypes to life with speed and accuracy.

My commitment to helping people and going the extra mile to achieve results sets me apart. I firmly believe that design is not just about aesthetics, but also about solving problems and enhancing user experiences. I actively seek to understand the needs and challenges of end-users, collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams to create solutions that truly resonate.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise to a forward-thinking company that values innovation and user-centric design. With my passion for industrial design and my unwavering commitment to excellence, I am confident in my ability to make a meaningful impact and drive success.
