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 Riordan
Stone Stylist
Meghan has a passion for all things interior design, from construction and materials to decor and DIY projects. When she's not helping you find the perfect stone for your project, she can be found spending time babysitting her neice & nephew, planning her upcoming wedding in 2026, or playing with her yellow lab Clover.
Alondra Ayala
Stone Stylist
Alondra is the newest addition to the Calia team. Bringing her prior experience in Interior Design to the vendor side! A true city girl, she knows all the best spots in town.
Anna Brown
Showroom Stylist
Calia's own southern belle! Anna handles all of our River North showroom traffic and organizes all of our creative events. When she's not at the showroom with her dog Henry, she's traveling the world or checking out the latest hotspot with her husband.
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.
Elizabeth Reed
Project Coordinator to Stone Stylist
Elizabeth joins Calia with a diverse background in art and design, including previous work in museums and the art auction industry as well as experience in fashion retail. Having studied design history at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she loves the field of design for the myriad points of inspiration, stories, and opportunities for connection that derive from the design process. In her free time, she likes to cross-stitch, browse fashion and design magazines, read, and travel.
Gwendolyn Hudson
Stone Stylist
Gwendolyn comes from a background of stone fabrication and supply and brings her own knowledge and expertise to Calia. Classic cars are her passion, so next time you're in the warehouse be sure to ask her about her dream car!
