ABOUT US
Designing That Starts and Finishes with the Build in Mind
Founded in 2019
Founded in 2019, Waterline Design, LLC was established with a singular vision: to provide design solutions that enhance shipyard efficiency through precision and practicality. Our deliverables consist of meticulously detailed,
construction-ready drawings and sophisticated modeling that anticipate and resolve challenges early in the process, ensuring uninterrupted progress and adherence to
demanding schedules.
By aligning seamlessly with your project timelines and operational workflows, Waterline Design empowers shipyards to minimize revisions, expedite production, and sustain a decisive competitive edge in an evolving maritime industry.
Why We Exist
In marine construction, precision and clarity are paramount. Even the most experienced shipbuilders face significant setbacks when engineering data is incomplete, inconsistent, or delayed. Too often, design packages arrive that fail to meet the exacting demands of production teams—jeopardizing schedules and increasing costs.
At Waterline Design, we recognized this critical industry challenge and built a team focused on closing the gap between engineering intent and shipyard execution. Our solutions are designed for production, rigorously tested in operational environments, and tailored to the real-world complexities of your workflow.
We prioritize simplicity without sacrificing detail, maintain proactive communication through every challenge, and deliver only fully actionable documentation. With Waterline Design, your drawings are not just checked off—they are designed to drive efficiency,
rework, and keep your shipyard on schedule and ahead of the competition.
About Our Team
We’re led by experienced professionals from the shipbuilding world,
not just the engineering side.
At Waterline Design, we’re led by professionals who understand the realities of shipbuilding—because we’ve lived them. Our leadership team brings decades of hands-on experience not only in design, but also in production planning, scheduling, and field coordination.
​
We know what it takes to keep a project moving, avoid costly missteps, and deliver drawings that actually work in the yard. That’s why clients, owners, and shipyards trust us to support their teams like one of their own.
Looking Ahead
At Waterline Design, growth is intentional. We take on the right projects, invest in scalable systems, and expand with discipline. Precision and reliability are never compromised.
​
As production cycles accelerate and shipyards demand agile, dependable design support, we stay ready to respond with clarity and confidence.

Our vision is clear: to be the trusted first call for shipbuilders, owners, and project teams who need fast turnaround, practical solutions, and deliverables rooted in real-world production experience.
Our Values. Your Advantage.
HONOR
We lead with integrity—setting a high bar for precision, transparency, and accountability. Our goal is to be the most trusted design partner in the marine industry, known for delivering exactly what’s needed, when it’s needed, without compromise.
COURAGE

COMMITMENT
We are here to build lasting impact. Our team stays fully engaged from concept to completion—adapting when needed, maintaining focus under pressure, and aligning with your mission at every step.
​
We are committed to advancing the future of shipbuilding, one successful project at a time.
​
These values define our direction. They shape our partnerships, drive our innovation, and guide our vision: to raise the standard for production-ready marine engineering.
We aren’t a firm that hides behind jargon or process.
WE'RE PRACTICAL. FOCUSED. RESPONSIVE.
At Waterline Design, we know what matters to your team: accurate drawings, fast responses, and support that doesn’t slow you down. Our approach is built to integrate directly with your workflow—whether you're managing a build, coordinating a retrofit, or keeping a delivery on track.
Our process is built around:
Speed with accuracy – Your schedule depends on both.
Direct communication – You’ll have access to the people doing the work: engineers, designers, and leads who understand your project.
Production-ready packages – Production-ready packages that are clearly labeled, practical, and easy for your team to use.
Adaptability – Whether you need full-scope design, overflow support, or a quick solution mid-project, we plug in where needed.
