Summary
Innovative CAD Drafting Student who transforms concepts into precise digital blueprints and detailed 2D/3D models using advanced AutoCAD techniques. Blending technical skill with craftsmanship, I bridge the gap between digital design and hands-on fabrication—drawing on deep knowledge of woodworking, materials behavior, and safe construction methods. I excel at translating complex ideas into clear, buildable designs, optimizing each project for accuracy, efficiency, and structural integrity.
From crafting custom furniture with careful joinery to refining manufacturing workflows through smart design solutions, I approach every challenge with curiosity and a problem-solver’s mindset. Known for clear communication, strong collaboration, and consistent adherence to quality standards at Klein ISD, I bring both creativity and precision to every project. Driven to keep learning and pushing my technical abilities, I’m eager to contribute to teams where design and innovation come together
