Michael Luzar
Mr
Melbourne, AustraliaExpert in CAD surface modeling, design development and visualisation. Over the last decade I have worked on numerous design projects ranging from A-class CAD component production for automotive clients through to creating high-end marketing material ready for implementation into advertisement mediums and web use.
Having worked at a digital outsourcing company I gained invaluable experience working with different clients in the design industry such as Autodesk, Thales Australia, Bombardier, Ford, Honda, Electrolux, Futuris and HSV to name a few.
I thrive on working in a team environment, sharing ideas, evaluating proposals and being very receptive to feedback. I possess excellent communication skills to present ideas and efficiently discuss design recommendations. I am capable of supplying high-quality work on tight deadlines and love a fast pace environment.
I am always eager to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to discover new skills and capabilities to find new ways to diversify my skill range.
