Hi, I'm Cody Burke, a Managing Director and Senior Project Manager with a background in industrial design and hands-on manufacturing. I oversee complex furniture projects from concept to installation, coordinate cross-functional teams, and drive production efficiency across in-house, local, and international partners. I studied at Arizona State University (Master of Industrial Design) and BYU-Idaho (Bachelor of Science in Welding and Fabrication Management Technologies). I enjoy turning design ideas into buildable realities—sketching shop drawings, programming CNC equipment, and exploring new fabrication technologies to deliver high-quality results for clients and designers.
