CABINET KNOB CAD CMF DFM TECHNICAL DRAWING 3D RENDERING
I engineered a modern architectural cabinet knob that balances ergonomic grip with clean aesthetic lines. Modeled in CAD, the internal structure incorporates a reinforced threaded brass insert and anti-rotation positioning pin. I applied strict DFM principles for high-efficiency zinc die casting, optimizing draft angles and wall transitions. I delivered a complete CMF specification alongside precise 2D technical drawings with GD&T limits, finishing with photorealistic renders highlighting brushed, matte, and polished metallic finishes.

Circle to Square - from idea to physical product
I designed a complete chess set from the ground up, starting as an idea, developed through 3D visualisation, and carried all the way to a final physical product.
Every piece traces the same transformation: circle becoming square. Ceramic pieces, chrome bases, a stone board.
What started as a shape study became one of the most-appreciated pieces in my portfolio, now sold as a finished product. Sometimes the simplest idea, carried consistently, goes further than complexity ever could.
So amazing 😍
As a Squarespace designer I am SO excited for the Finish Layer tools they just dropped. I already loved Squarespace for the easy drag and drop interface, but this adds a whole new level to my work.
Which of the tools are you the most excited to try?
Those tools makes the work more fun and clean
Recently I added this 3D model, available to purchase on my profile! It's a .blend file and is 100% made by a human (no AI).
Suggested Use Cases: Web design, motion graphics, game development, or artistic rendering.
Why not another 3D render or animation created by AI?
First off, there won't be any copyright issues because this work is entirely original. Second, because it was created by a human, its topology is 100% clean. To put it another way, the quality is excellent, and you are purchasing what you are viewing (I'm not selling lovely photos and then selling you another piece of art or crap).
Calling out that the Blender asset is fully human-made gives the model a clear point of view in the current market. Which use case do you most hope buyers explore with it?
