Green Bay, Wis. – Cali Basten and Caitlyn VanBoxel have joined H.J. Martin and Son as the two newest interior designers at the Green Bay location. Both designers previously worked as Sales and Design Consultants for Tile and Stone Gallery in De Pere, Wis. 

Basten has four years of experience working in hard surface flooring and design. She discovered her passion for design after working with her husband to flip houses. 

When it comes to her tastes in design, Basten believes in using natural and timeless products.

“To me, mother nature did it best and I don’t like to mess with a good thing,” Basten said. “My goal is to take a unique approach and try to incorporate those natural elements while also staying within any budget.”

When working with customers, Basten knows the ins and outs of building and redesigning a home. She believes in using the client’s vision to help them create a home that is both beautiful and functional. She enjoys getting to know her clients and how they live, as these details help her suggest the perfect flooring to fit their lifestyle. Seeking out the latest trends and innovative products in flooring design is another aspect Basten enjoys sharing with her clients.

Basten has a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, and will bring a number of skills to the H.J. Martin and Son sales floor. 

VanBoxel has been working for more than 12 years in the residential flooring industry. Her passion for design came to her early when she helped select products when redesigning aspects of her childhood home. 

“Interior design is a way to express your personality, your style, and the way you want to feel when you walk in the door,” VanBoxel said. “My goal every time I work with a customer is to help them reflect that in any design.”

VanBoxel loves watching a space transform and seeing her clients fall in love with their homes whether they are new or remodeled. She enjoys learning about the vision her clients bring to her and ultimately helping them narrow down these important selections. Her goal is to always make the process fun and exciting.

VanBoxel has an Associate Degree in Interior Design from Fox Valley Technical College and will be a great addition to the talented sales team at H.J. Martin and Son.
