Bradley Sobol is an independent product design engineer and 3D visualiser who takes products from initial concept sketch to manufactured object. Working across concept development, CAD modelling, photorealistic still and animated 3D rendering, prototyping and design for manufacturing, he bridges the gap between "looks good" and "actually works" — designing with the end of the process in mind from the start.
His work has shipped for brands including b.box, Disney, Warner Bros, Marvel, Sanrio, Mattel, Lidl, the New Zealand All Blacks and the AFL, spanning consumer products, licensed merchandise, and point-of-sale hardware.
Recent projects include the b.box body skincare range, a 2-in-1 divided suction plate developed for infant feeding, the Bosstab Gemini 2 point-of-sale stand, and the Orica WebGen 200 wireless initiation system — work that runs from early sketch and CAD through to photorealistic rendering and manufacture-ready documentation. Other case studies include the b.box Bottle Bumper Sleeve, an engineering and product design project focused on drop-test performance and manufacturability.
He works across the full development pipeline — from concept sketching and CAD modelling through photorealistic and animated 3D visualisation to prototyping, design for manufacturing, technical documentation, and patent registration support — available as a freelance product design engineer for both project-based design work and visualisation-only engagements.
Day to day, Bradley works in Solidworks, Blender, and Keyshot, moving between parametric CAD, product visualisation, and prototyping — 3D printing early ideas, iterating fast, and designing with manufacturing constraints in mind from the first sketch.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Bradley is available for freelance and contract product design engineering work, and collaborates with studios, agencies, and manufacturers both locally and internationally, adapting to each project's existing workflow and tooling rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all process.
