Modular Wooden Pallet Assembly Design (SolidWorks to Fusion 360 Workflow)

This project is a parametric pallet assembly modeled in Fusion 360 as part of a workflow transition from SolidWorks to Fusion 360. The goal was to recreate a real-world, modular structure while adapting to differences in assembly logic, including constraints (mates in SolidWorks vs joints in Fusion 360), timeline-based modeling, and parametric control.

The design focuses on practical assembly structure, repeatable components, and clean part relationships suitable for manufacturing-style modeling. While simple in appearance, the project emphasizes correct alignment behavior, assembly integrity, and workflow translation between CAD platforms.

This exercise strengthened my understanding of:

Assembly relationships and joint behavior in Fusion 360

Translating SolidWorks constraint logic into Fusion workflows

Parametric design structure for reusable components

Clean, modular modeling practices for real-world objects

The result is a functional, dimensionally consistent pallet assembly that demonstrates foundational CAD competency and adaptability across software environments.

The synthesis of a craft.

A preview of the visual identity for Tapidecor, a brand where furniture is created from scratch through artisanal manufacturing and signature upholstery.

The development is based on a geometric synthesis representing the iconic profile of a chair. As the most essential form of a seat, this structure symbolizes the primary physical touchpoint between the user and the design, capturing the essence of the craft: the balance between structural firmness, functionality, and the comfort of the finish.

The system features two variants: an integrated version where the naming is housed within the core of the symbol, and a pure logomark for high-impact applications (wood engraving, embroidery, or stamps), where the form maintains the brand identity on its own.

A concept exploration for a premium perfume brand.

The idea was to make the interface feel calm, immersive, and slightly cinematic without losing clarity. I focused on restraint, depth, and atmosphere so the product remains the hero throughout the experience.
