Big Vision or Blank Slate? We’ll Help You Bring It Together.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you walk through our doors. Design assistance at United Tile is complimentary, and our designers are here to help you turn ideas, inspiration photos — or even an “I have no idea where to start” — into selections that work together.

Spread out at one of our design tables, pull samples, compare colors and textures, and see your tile, flooring, countertops, cabinets and other materials together before making a decision. You can have as much — or as little — help as you want.

By the time you’re picking finishes, Anthony knows you may be very ready for your project to be over. His goal? Bring some of the fun back.

With more than 10 years in the industry, Anthony loves warm earth tones, natural stone and wood floors — but his style is really about your style. He’s especially proud of the trust he’s built with local builders who know they can rely on him to get the details right.

“I try to keep it light and exciting. You pick what you love, and I help make sure all the details work together.”

Ashley McCall

Meet Ashley

8 years at United Tile
Natural textures
Detail obsessed
Early bird
Coffee powered

For Ashley, every customer has a puzzle to solve and a story to tell. With 14 years in the industry, she loves the details that make a space feel personal — especially natural stone, stained wood, earth tones and a mix of traditional and mid-century design.

She’s a free spirit when it comes to the process. Want to be involved in every decision? Great. Want Ashley to take the lead? She can do that, too.

Her remodel adviceThink about the whole project before tackling one piece. Like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, one change usually leads to another — so start with the big picture.
Design rule she swears byEverything can’t be the statement.
Dream projectA restaurant with a children’s play space.
Plot twistShe wrestled in college.

Ashley’s favorites

Outside of work, Ashley is a wife and mom who loves the outdoors and going to church.

She wants her customers to feel comfortable taking their time, bringing samples home and changing their minds. Good design doesn’t have to happen on the first try.

After 40 years in the industry, Brian knows there are a lot of choices out there. His approach is to make those choices a little easier — helping customers sort through the options, figure out what they really like and turn those selections into a finished space they’re happy with.

Brian enjoys working on new construction and especially likes the patterns and textiles that bring a design together. While trends come and go, he’s happy to see earth tones making their way back.

Donna Lightfoot

Meet Donna

14½ years at United Tile
30+ years of experience
Warm traditional
Natural stone
Straight shooter

After more than 30 years in the industry, Donna knows the best spaces aren’t about a designer leaving their mark — they’re about creating a home that feels unmistakably like you. Her job, as she sees it, is to make sure your project doesn’t “slide off the rails.”

She loves warm traditional tones, natural materials, and a neutral palette that lets a few pops of color stand out. Her favorite part? Seeing customers get excited about their project.

Her remodel adviceKnow what you really want before you tear anything out. It’s not costing you anything to live with what you have — so wait until you’re in love with your selections.
Where to startCabinets first! They’re the biggest ticket item in a new home, and they set the direction for your countertops and flooring.
Her rule for youSpeak up! If you don’t love something you’re being shown, say so. It’s your home.
Asked how her coworkers would describe her“We probably don’t need to see that in print.”

Donna’s favorites

Countertop: Natural stone, day in and day out
Flooring: Hardwood and Saltillo tile
Color palette: Neutrals with pops of color
Room to design: The one her customer wants to design

Off the clock

Outside of work, Donna enjoys a good movie and always enjoys great music.

What she’s proudest of after all these years is the trust she builds with contractors, builders and customers. She hopes you leave the showroom comfortable trusting her and United Tile to look out for your best interests.

Jonah Wall

Meet Jonah

4 years at United Tile
Moody palettes
Kitchen guy
Homebody-ish
Night owl

Jonah likes spaces that look good — but they have to work well, too. For him, good design is about finding that sweet spot between something visually interesting and something that actually makes sense for the way you live.

He especially loves designing kitchens and outdoor kitchens, where all those little decisions about layout, cabinetry, materials and function eventually come together into one finished space. With about eight years of design experience, including his education, Jonah has grown into United Tile’s lead cabinet designer.

His remodel adviceDo your research. There are probably way more options than you realize.
Dream projectA seriously good home theater/game room.
After hoursCooking and baking.
Most likely to beStill awake. Definitely a night owl.

Jonah’s favorites

Countertop: Porcelain slabs, then honed or leathered natural stone
Color palette: Warm earth tones and moody palettes
Room to design: Kitchens and outdoor kitchens
Local spot: Thai Japanese Kitchen on Mansfield Rd.
Body clock: Night owl

Off the clock

Outside of United Tile, Jonah describes himself as “a homebody with adventurous tastes.” He appreciates a good night at home, but clearly isn’t afraid to try something a little different — whether that’s in a design or in his own kitchen.

At work, he’s organized, task-oriented and thoughtful about his clients’ time. His favorite part is watching a project come together from beginning to end — and making sure the finished space is just as functional as it is good-looking.
