Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: With 15 years of experience in device engineering/manufacturing and graphic design, I have a thorough understanding of the documentation and processes involved in bringing a product idea to fruition.
I can help you communicate your concept with ultimate clarity, with my unique combination of experience in mechanical design/engineering, manufacturing, and technical documentation. Whether you need 2D drawings, 3D renderings, assembly instructions, or support documentation, I can efficiently transform your concept to reality with a high quality result.
For engineering design, I primarily use SolidWorks but also have experience with AutoCAD and ProEngineer and learn new software quickly when needed.
For documentation, I am proficient with all Microsoft products and primarily use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for graphic design.
I enjoy working with creative people, and find it truly satisfying to help turn a product or design idea from concept to reality.

Wendy was able to work remotely from our Los Angeles Offices while we designed merchandise for our Oktoberfest. Her knowledge with Illustrator helped cut our labor down as she was quite versitile with getting things knocked out efficiently. Using emails and a keen insight into potential issues, Wendy gave us our requested alterations to our artwork that we needed and alerted us to issues in our design in advance saving us time on the back end as well. Would definitely use her again!

Wendy is a great designer! I worked with her twice to help me design an add-on menu and a flyer page for my restaurant. She is a great communicator and she could understand my requirements very clearly. I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a graphic designer!

Wendy had a really challenging project. Create a wedding band and a pendant for a Creative Director in San Francisco. Any normal person would run away...screaming.
But Wendy was amazing. She had the patience to solve a really difficult challenge of modeling imperfection in the original design–and after hours of figuring out how to make it work–the professionalism to be totally cool to pivot, and change direction.
Beyond the technical chops and stack she can handle, her communication was frequent and professional. Her .stl files were clean. She took the time to make sure that her work was compliant with Shapeways for the material I was using...and above all...She really cared about the gravity of the project.

I'd highly recommend Wendy for your next project.
