I started as a CNC programmer and fabricator, receiving drawings, interpreting design intent, and figuring out how to turn what designers imagined into something that could actually be built.
I later moved into product development and engineering leadership, working across design, technical development, manufacturing, and delivery. I’ve managed more than $1M in custom furniture and millwork projects across North America, built a CNC department from a single machine into a multi-machine operation, and launched Sonoforma, a teak furniture brand made in Nicaragua and featured in Wallpaper*, Design Milk, and Contemporist.
That experience shapes how I approach FF&E project coordination. I understand the priorities on both sides: what designers need to preserve, what manufacturers need to build efficiently, and where gaps in communication or technical detail can lead to delays, rework, and unnecessary cost.
Today, I help hospitality procurement firms and design studios manage the production-side details that connect an approved design to a finished product. I work within existing teams and processes, bringing practical manufacturing knowledge, technical problem-solving, and cross-border project experience to keep projects moving toward delivery.
I’m Canadian and based in Nicaragua, with hands-on experience coordinating production across borders and working with manufacturers throughout Central America. I support clients remotely across North America, with local manufacturing access when a project calls for it.
