Summary
Erika Pineiro-werksma is a production designer with 11 years of experience leading Mad Props in crafting immersive sets, props, and set dressing for film and commercial productions from Grand Rapids.

Comfortable running small, agile art departments or supplying full prop packages, she combines practical shop skills (including puppet making and large-scale sign construction) with logistical know-how to execute multi-location builds in a day. Trusted by a reliable team she built, Erika brings a hands-on, inventive approach that consistently adds character depth and narrative nuance through design.
