Misty, Quality Control Inspector II
Misty began in welding and is now a quality technician whose dedication to quality is evident in every product she touches. “Handcrafted products are important because you get to see something take shape. It starts as a flat piece of metal and turns into a work of art.”
Emily, Kitchen Designer
Since joining Kalamazoo, Emily has worked on countless kitchen designs. “One of my favorite parts of the job is getting to see photos of the finished project. I love to hear stories from happy clients about how they’ve been using and enjoying their kitchens once they’re finished.”
