Garrett Lenocker
I’m a mechanical engineering student at California State University, Fullerton, focused on mechanical design, rapid prototyping, and turning CAD concepts into functional hardware. I’m currently interning in robotics at Kazvu Labs, where I design and prototype mechanical components. Outside of engineering, I enjoy riding and working on dirt bikes.

SCROLL TO EXPLORECAD FABRICATION TESTING
WHAT I DO
From idea to iteration.
I enjoy solving the practical problems that turn a design into a working part: fit, motion, load paths, manufacturing constraints, and the details you only discover after making a prototype.

Concierge
The Westin Anaheim ResortDeveloped communication, troubleshooting, and team coordination skills in a high-service environment. Experience includes resolving guest issues and supporting complex requests across departments.
* July 2022 – June 2023; March 2024 – present03 / HOW I THINK
Engineer it. Then prove it.
I'm most interested in work where design choices can be tested, questioned, and improved in the real world.
Understand the problem
Define the motion, packaging, loading, and service requirements before choosing a geometry.
Model the details
Use CAD and engineering calculations to explore fit, function, and manufacturability.
Make it physical
Prototype parts and assemblies with FDM printing or prepare drawings for manufacturing.
Test and refine
Use hands-on results and feedback to improve geometry, assembly, and reliability.
