Make a research about this software and how you think you can make it work for your designs if you haven't used a CAD system ever since. The most common type accessible for download online would be 2D CAD, 2.5 CAD and 3D CAD.
2D CAD is a simple tool that lets you make lines, curves and shapes that are based only on the X and Y axis. This means any design can be executed but without visual depth. 2.5D CAD graphics are like the first one except that images can be represented with a third axis, the Z axis, thus, creating a certain depth that you will liken to a prism effect.If you want to create images that are closest to reality, the 3D CAD program is what you need. You can create graphics with a realistic depth that makes use of the X, Y and Z axis and allows a 360-degree graphic rotation capability with this program.
If you're a truly talented designer, software is the last thing you'll be problematic about. As long as you know your way around the web even if getting clients in the beginning could be an issue, this should be easily handled.
