San Francisco Showroom

About Wendy

Wendy attended interior design classes at Canada College which reignited her love for interior design after raising her children. Wendy has previously worked in two high-end showrooms and a design build firm before joining Fireclay. Throughout her 15 years of experience, Wendy's favorite part of a project is still designing with tile. 

Favorite thing about Fireclay: The Cuerda Seca handpainted collection. This technique has been popular through out the world for centuries. I love that Fireclay is keeping the art alive.

About Ariel

Ariel is a San Diego native with a Bachelor's of Science in Interior Design from San Francisco State University. Ariel worked in the design industry for several years at the San Francisco Design Center before finally landing at Fireclay. 

You can find Ariel spending her free time jogging by the beach, doing yoga, snuggling with her dwarf rabbits Raindrop and Schmear, or hunting down the best cup of coffee. 

Favorite thing about Fireclay: The people, the amazing tile, and of course the dogs! 

About Megan

A Bay Area native through and through, Megan received her Bachelors of Arts in Studio Art & Art History at Saint Mary’s College before venturing across the Bridge to find a home at Fireclay. Megan has always been drawn to the arts and after being introduced to interior design, she quickly realized that tile is truly the art of any space. Megan was initially drawn to Fireclay for their beautiful handmade tile, as their “tread lightly” attitude only served to better the tiles’ beauty. Megan is happiest with a coffee in hand, solving riddles, spending time outdoors, or painting at her kitchen-table-turned-studio.

Favorite thing about Fireclay: The design dogs (and, of course, the tile).

About Mark

Bay Area native Mark Jacques joins the Fireclay Tile team after years spent in the A&D industry with Carnegie Fabrics. For over 20 years Mark has used his eye for color and design as an internationally celebrated make-up artist; teaching classes coast to coast while working behind the scenes at globally celebrated events. When not working, Mark can be found producing charity events and volunteering with the non-profit organization he has been a passionate member of for nearly 20 years, having served as Vice President and mentor to many. In his free time, Mark enjoys spending time with his fur babies, cycling, working on projects around the home, and spending time in the kitchen whipping up some magic.

My favorite thing about Fireclay: As a company, we strive to not only better our industry, but also our planet. 

About Cristina

Originally from Eastern Europe, Cristina took a leap of faith 10 years ago and moved to San Francisco. With a love for interior design and people, she started her career path in appliances before transitioning to the stone industry. Now Cristina finds herself in the world of beautiful tile!

Early on, Cristina recognized the beauty of the Fireclay product but has been most impressed by the people-- Their energy, positive vibes, and bright faces. Cristina always wondered what their secret was and now she knows-- it’s the shared love for tile, people, and the genuine desire to help.

When she's not at Fireclay, Cristina's hobbies include traveling, tennis, hiking, reading, and woodworking.

Favorite Thing about Fireclay: The commitment to do good by our clients, employees, environment, and most importantly the communities we live and work in.
