Résumé

February 2014–Present

Take projects from initial documentation (pallet pattern, weight, planogram), through design, to final specs and documents.
Use ArtiosCAD to create the necessary structures and fillers, with an emphasis on creating efficient displays with as few separate parts as possible.
Use Kongsberg CNC cutting tables to create structural mockups to ensure fit and finish, as well as full-color mockups in conjunction with a Mutoh flatbed printer.
Use SolidWorks sheet metal features for advanced design. Unlike Artios, where all work is done in 2d, SolidWorks lets you create a design in 3d that can then be unwrapped into a flat drawing. This helps reduce the time to create a design, and makes it easier to make sure all design elements are properly aligned right from the start.
Use Artios Advanced Stylemaker to create a variety of rebuildable standards for the team. Updated existing standards to align with current company workflow.
