NOSOTROS
My life in the kitchen and bath industry, like many others, began from a need. More than 25 years ago I was a general contractor doing large renovations and new home construction in the US. We often experienced delays and issues with our cabinet providers. To solve this, I decided to open a small cabinet company to design and build kitchens and baths for our projects. Fast-forward two years and we were in such high demand that we opted to close the construction side and moved with rigorous focus into our new 15,000 square foot facility. Since then, my capabilities and knowledge flourished, and as expected, my career followed suit.
It wasn’t until about 2020 that we seriously considered Costa Rica for our home. My wife and I did some scouting trips, talked with as many people as we could to determine if there was a chance a cabinet company could thrive here. What we saw, was an industry that is years behind the fierce competition in the US in terms of designs, service and products, and providers who were not 100% proactive in making sure their clients were completely supported. It was this realization that spurred us to embark on a mission, to create what is now StudioTingo. To bring a sense of urgency, an insatiable work ethic, elevated design, prompt communications, precision production and best-in-class focus on the client and the project.


StudioTingo was created to harness the passions, experiences and talents of our team into one very purpose-driven company that offers exceptional kitchens, baths, closets and fine furniture.
We invite you to experience our capabilities, see projects underway and meet our dedicated staff at our well-equipped and impressively organized facility only a few kilometers from the Guanacaste airport.

Conozca al Gringo
StudioTingo es creación de Stephen Patterson, la parte "gringa" de StudioTingo. Su camino hacia Costa Rica empezó hace más de 20 años, cuando en unas vacaciones en el Pacífico Central, quedó encantado con la belleza del país. Stephen posee una vasta experiencia en el ámbito de cocinas y baños de lujo; habiendo comenzado y administrado varias empresas de ebanistería y compañías de mobiliaria en los Estados Unidos. Una insaciable ética de trabajo, un fuerte sentido de servicio y una obsesiva atención a los detalles, le han ayudado al éxito en muchos roles, incluyendo diseño, ingeniería, producción e instalación de mobiliario. Ahora como residente de Costa Rica, está muy emocionado por compartir su pasión por el diseño y confección de piezas con maderas nativas de la zona.
Conozca a la Tica
Tingo equivale a Tica +Gringo. No estaríamos aquí sin el encanto y conocimiento de su co- fundadora, Priscilla Carranza. Por años, Priscilla fue co-dueña de una empresa desarrolladora en Costa Rica. Dicha empresa, fue responsable del desarrollo de muy conocidos resorts y proyectos urbanísticos. Sus relaciones interpersonales y destreza en el manejo de negocios son imprescindibles en las operaciones de StudioTingo. Estar casada con el mencionado Gringo? Bueno, creemos que se obtiene lo mejor de ambos mundos!
