Meet the makers - Kyle in San Diego

We meet Kyle from San Diego and learn how he turned his hobby into a business by registering as an Opendesk maker.

In his self-built workshop, Kyle has been making beautiful furniture for customers in Los Angeles and San Diego. His biggest Opendesk job to date saw him tackle 99 8’x4’ sheets of Baltic Birch plywood from his garage for Procore. Kyle’s story proves just how much you can do with garage space, a self-built CNC machine and an Opendesk maker registration.
