I’m Danute Petrova-Nikolova, but most people call me Dani. I’m a mechanical design engineer with over 17 years of experience. I have worked in different industries like furniture design, vacuum forming, and developing solutions for electronic measurements.
I’m the founder of D Workshop, where I offer design services focused on functionality, looks, and sustainability. I’m a big fan of SOLIDWORKS, and in 2022 I was honored to be named SOLIDWORKS Champion of the Year.

I love sharing what I know — you can often find me at user group meetings, webinars, and on my YouTube channel “D Workshop”, where I post design and modeling tips.
