Frameless glass journey

On the Frameless Glass project, I focused on designing a seamless and manufacturable glass system that integrated with existing office furniture. I optimized imports, reduced product skews, and developed custom jigs for in-house cutting, while coordinating with Chinese manufacturers through contracts and quality control plans to ensure precise, high-quality production.

Creative design

As a SolidWorks engineer, I specialize in creative, practical design solutions that balance innovation with real world constraints. On the Frameless Glass project, I not only designed a glass system to integrate seamlessly with existing Haworth Premise systems, but also engineered it to remain safe under everyday use. I optimized the design for efficient importing, minimized product skews, and developed custom jigs so parts could be accurately cut inhouse. Turning complex requirements into elegant, manufacturable solutions.

International savvy

Leveraging international expertise, I streamlined the office furniture import process from China. I began by shortlisting suppliers to identify the best candidates for onsite visits. Once onsite, I assessed which factories were best suited for our needs. I drafted and negotiated contracts in Chinese to maintain full control over the project. I coordinated multiple products from several factories, consolidating shipments into single containers. Ensuring efficiency, quality, and precision across every step of the global supply chain.

Quality driven

Quality-driven and detail oriented, I ensure every project meets the highest standards from start to finish. By leveraging legally binding Chinese contracts and comprehensive quality control plans, including audits using AQL tables, I guarantee that suppliers deliver on time without compromising quality. This approach combines rigorous oversight while keeping the control in the hands of my clients.
