A life built
on connection.
Piping designer. Curious traveler. Always working on the next chapter.
I’m Steve. My world brings together plant design, hands-on learning, and a little adventure beyond the drawing board.
Explore my backgroundGet in touch ↗Meet Steve.
I’m Steven Thomas Paulus, a piping designer based in the Houston area. My background includes a Senior Piping Designer role at Kent Engineering and my own drafting business, Offsite CAD.
I enjoy the process of turning a complex arrangement into something clear and practical. I’m continuing to develop my AutoCAD Plant 3D skills while exploring my next professional opportunity.
Outside of design, you’ll usually find me at the gym, planning a trip, or finding a creative project to get absorbed in.
From drawings
to dimensions.
Piping design & CAD
Experience with piping design tools and 3D plant environments, with a focus on continuing to learn and build practical skills.
A small plant, a bigger challenge.
My piping final project brings together two pumps, a condenser, a vertical vessel, and connecting piping in a 3D plant model.

There’s more to life than the next drawing. I make time for the things that keep me curious and moving.

Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and thinking about where the next chapter might lead.
Fitness & creativity
Regular workouts, creative photo projects, and experimenting with music and video ideas.
A project, an opportunity,
