FF&E Projects
From Production to Delivery.

Freelance project coordination for hospitality furniture and interiors firms. I manage factory communication, technical drawings, production timelines, and delivery — working as an extension of your team.

The details that keep FF&E projects moving.

Custom furniture projects require constant coordination between designers, clients, and factories. Technical questions need answers. Drawings need clarification. Production schedules need follow-up. Small issues can become costly delays when nobody has the time or technical background to resolve them.

I bring a factory-side perspective to FF&E project execution, helping hospitality procurement firms and design studios keep those details moving. From technical coordination and shop drawing reviews to production tracking, quality control, and shipment planning, I take ownership of the work that connects an approved design to a finished product.

I work within your existing process, alongside your team and under your direction. You keep the client relationship; I help manage the production details behind it.

My experience spans custom furniture and millwork projects across hospitality and residential settings, including a $500K Atlanta hotel project involving more than 600 pieces shipped from Nicaragua, a $350K Hamptons residence, and custom furniture for a Grammy-winning producer’s recording studio in Toronto.

Based in Nicaragua, I also bring direct relationships with manufacturers across Central America when local sourcing, factory visits, or on-the-ground quality control are needed. Whether production is nearby or overseas, my focus is the same: keep the details aligned, resolve issues early, and get the project through to delivery.

This is for you if you're...

Running an FF&E or Procurement Firm

You have projects moving through production and need extra coordination capacity without adding headcount. I work within your existing systems, alongside your team and under your direction, managing factory communication, technical questions, production timelines, and delivery details.

Managing Custom Furniture or Millwork Projects

You’re coordinating designers, clients, and manufacturers, and the production details need consistent attention. I bring factory-side experience to shop drawing reviews, manufacturability questions, production follow-up, and issue resolution—helping keep the project aligned with the approved design and moving toward delivery.

Working with Manufacturers Across Borders

You’re working with manufacturers across borders and need someone who understands both the technical details and the realities of getting products made and delivered. I bring factory-side experience and hands-on international project coordination, helping bridge communication between design teams and manufacturers, resolve production issues, and keep projects moving from approved design through delivery.

About Mike

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.

Need an extra pair of hands?

A short call is usually enough to understand what you’re working on, where you need support, and whether I’m a good fit. Whether it’s factory coordination, technical reviews, production tracking, or delivery planning, we can start with a clearly defined piece of work.
