MEET THE CALIA CREW
Kristin Cali Schloemer
Owner & Founder
Everyone always asks me, ``How did you get into this industry?`` Honestly, I followed the path I was given - and choosing door number 3 - I ended up here! I absolutely wouldn’t change it for the world. Taking on the challenge of a small business, aligning myself with the best team. I am learning constantly everyday. Here at Calia, we are striving to hold a standard of the best. Staying educated and positive keeps us moving and growing. Recently, I decided to challenge myself more with moving the warehouse, looking for a home, and in hopes to start traveling again!

Meghan Doka
Stone Stylist
As a sales representative, or in more fun terminology, being a ``stone stylist`` at Calia Stone Boutique is having the ability to create relationships, while fueling days with passion and creative freedom in the stone industry. I live my everyday life with fashion styling, alternative music and my favorite office episodes. Always having the Michael Scott mentality, “You miss 100% of the shots you never take.” – Michael Scott – aka Wayne Gretzky (to those who are fans of the show). I currently reside in Michigan with my husband and dog, Theo.

Katie O'Brien
Stone Stylist
Fashion, design, and nature have always been a huge part of my life, so joining the Calia team after years in the fashion industry was the perfect fit! Meeting clients and learning about their natural stone plans has been so inspiring and makes for creative energy on a daily basis! Calia is an entire experience and I love that I get to be a part of. When I’m not working, I’m traveling back to Michigan to see my family, spending time outside, or finding a new favorite restaurant.
