The Faces-of-Our-Future Program Recognizes Kayla Liseth from Belmont Hardware

The DPHA Faces-of-Our-Future Program recognizes up-and-coming influencers in the decorative plumbing and hardware business. This program will profile DPHA members with 10 or less years of experience. Each month from June through October 2018, members will be inducted into the Faces-of-Our-Future Club, and their stories will be featured in DPHA's weekly newsletter, Connections. This week we recognize Kayla Liseth, Showroom Manager at Belmont Hardware in the San Francisco area.

 

Kayla came to Belmont Hardware about a year ago, having previously worked at a local area bicycle shop, and in that short amount of time she has already become one of Belmont Hardware's top 5 salespersons.  According to one of her nominators, "Kayla takes great pride in learning everything she can about our industry. She is enthusiastic to learn and is striving to become an expert in hardware. She is what the industry needs - someone who is young, enthusiastic and really enjoys what she does. She is excellent with regards to customer service, which is something that can't really be taught." 

 

Connections: How long have you been in the DPH industry?

Kayla: I have been in the industry for 2 years. 

Connections: What has surprised you about the industry?

Kayla: One thing that has surprised me is that what sometimes seems to be a trend from some time ago comes back in one way or another, whether it be a finish or a style. There are endless ideas originating from traditional styles, new ideas that have never been conceived of and endless creativity.  

Connections: What is the biggest challenge you have faced in our industry?

Kayla: One of the biggest challenges I have faced is that everything isn't always standard. Sometimes you really have to think outside of the box to come up with solutions to certain things. While it's sometimes a challenge, I find it to be a great learning experience. 

Connections: What do you enjoy about being in this industry?

Kayla: This industry is always growing, and there's always more to learn. I love to work with clients to create a dream they have. It's very rewarding! 

Connections: Anything else you would like to add?

Kayla: I just want to say thank you for this honor. I'm so excited for what is to come in the future. I have truly found my passion.
