My newest project from @Mikkel he loved the result! He really took my marketing advice and ran with it!

A finished project from @OutofPoverty was quite the challenge, modeling fabric was new to me! He took my product launch advice to heart and is making big steps!

CHECK OUT this fun project that I completed for a fellow Fastlane aficionado @MaxinVegas.

He disclosed his ideas, along with his preferred dimensions for the product, and let me run with it! The design looks simple, but that is where my EFFORT, KNOWLEDGE, and EXPERIENCE come into play. I immediately recognized that for this product, I could design the whole thing out of folded sheet metal, and in turn vastly REDUCE the prototype COSTS, along with minimizing individual part count, welding, and special processes. Four hours into a design, I made @MaxinVegas a very happy customer!! He can now present beautiful renders on his social media to start collecting pre-orders AND he's coming back to do the blueprint drawings when it is prototype time!
Here's another I completed for @O1i He challenged me to create a better version of a product he thought could be #valueskewed
He sent me this sketch! and I made this!

Here's a recent example of a manufacturing drawing a supplier needed from @million$$$smile it worked great with no revisions needed!

Now I am looking for my next challenge! Book a Consultation here! Or if you know what you need, PM me!
