Colin Lydon-Sales, Order Placement & Review, Shipping/Receiving

The consummate combination of intelligence, compassion and professionalism, Colin exemplifies the characteristics of a natural leader. Whether placing orders with vendors, helping clients out of a major problem or checking order accuracy, his attention to detail is invaluable.  Shipping and receiving  (Will my order ship today?) is part of Colin’s M.O.  Colin’s regular customers typically seek him out knowing exactly what they want but if you have technical questions he can help you with that too .

Micah George-Sales, Order Placement & Tracking

If you frequent a lot of tile showrooms you have probably encountered an ill-mannered sales person that is too busy adjusting his tiara or texting her friends to help you with your silly bathroom.  Micah not only listens, she genuinely cares about what you are trying to accomplish. Enthusiastic and creatively gifted. Micah is that spark of talent  that somehow is able to pull it all together.  As a side note, if unable to reach Gina for any reason, contact Micah.

Claudia Standish, Accounting/ Manager

Graduate of the “Micro Managing School of Accountancy” Claudia is that wonderful superwoman that corporations pay the big bucks for.  While working on bookkeeping, business plans, tax filing or project evaluation, Claudia always presents an altruistic and honest approach to the day to day obstacles we occasionally find ourselves mired in.

Kathy Blakeney, Principal/Designer

Classical music has Mozart and the design community has Kathy Blakeney. (Kathy is too humble to enjoy this metaphor.) Whether drafting a quick sketch for a client that looks like its taken weeks, redesigning a room plan, or collaborating on an extensive project, Kathy’s guidance is immeasurable.  Specifically working on large scale projects and those that require historical research and expertise, Kathy is available by appointment only.
