Partnered with a Berlin-based DTC flat-pack furniture startup to engineer their full launch catalog — 6 SKUs including modular cabinets, wall-mounted shelving, and a knockdown desk system. Converted founder sketches and Pinterest references into production-ready CAD models, then delivered kerf-compensated DXF cut files, nested plywood layouts under 8% waste, and IKEA-style visual assembly guides for end customers. Coordinated directly with their contract CNC factory in Poland to validate toolpath layers for Fusion CAM and confirm Blum hardware placement. Result: files passed factory QA on first review, launch shipped on schedule, and average box size reduced 22%, cutting shipping cost per unit significantly.

Led CAD engineering and CNC production file preparation for a mid-scale European furniture manufacturer producing cabinets, flat-pack SKUs, and plywood retail displays. Delivered 400+ production-ready DXF packages for Baltic birch and MDF sheet stock, reducing plywood waste from 18% to under 7% through engineered nesting strategies. Designed cam-lock, dowel, and wedge joinery validated for shipping-load stress. Collaborated directly with CNC operators to refine kerf compensation, tab placement, and toolpath layers for VCarve, Aspire, and Fusion CAM. Owned the full pipeline: concept sketch → 3D model → nested DXF → shop-floor drawings → assembly guide. Every file cut clean on first pass.
