I'm Jason Rogers, founder of Rogers Technical Design. My background isn't limited to a computer screen. It was built on the fabrication shop floor, where drawings become steel, tolerances matter, and every design decision has real consequences.
With over a decade of hands-on experience in professional metal fabrication and welding, I've worked through the realities of manufacturing firsthand—from cutting, fitting, and welding complex assemblies to estimating projects, planning fabrication sequences, and solving problems that don't always show up on a drawing.
That experience is the foundation of how I approach technical design.
The design side
Alongside my fabrication background, I've developed extensive experience in CAD/CAM, 3D modeling, technical visualization, and digital design.
My education in computer animation and art, combined with years of working in manufacturing environments, gives me a perspective that bridges creative design and practical production.
I don't just look at whether something can be modeled. I consider how it will be cut, formed, assembled, welded, finished, and ultimately manufactured.
That's the difference between designing something that looks good and designing something that works.
Working with RTD
Through Rogers Technical Design, I provide fabrication shops, contractors, and manufacturers with an outsourced design resource that understands both sides of the process.
Whether you need a custom architectural metalwork concept, a complete set of shop drawings, or CNC-ready production files, my goal is to help you move from idea to fabrication with greater clarity, efficiency, and confidence.
I understand the pressures of running a shop: tight schedules, changing customer requirements, material costs, production bottlenecks, and the importance of getting the details right before fabrication begins.
When you work with RTD, you're not simply hiring someone to draw parts. You're working with a designer who has spent years making them.
Fabricator by trade. Designer by discipline.
