DISTINCTIVELY PAINT - Key Persons


Brennan Matthies

Job Titles:
  • Content Manager & Installer
Brennan started with us as a painters prepper, then became a painter, and then moved into the role of installer. His amazing patience and attention to detail makes him the perfect fit for installing our cabinet doors after they've been painted. More recently, we discovered Brennan's ability to write. (We should have guessed given the insane amount of writing he had to do to earn his Poly Sci degree!) His ability to write, his lovely empathic nature and listening skills, combined with the technical knowledge gained through multiple promotions working in the field made him a natural fit as content manager. Many of the articles written on this site are compliments of Brennan's many hours imparting his knowledge to the world wide web.

Calla Mitchell

Job Titles:
  • Owner
Calla launched Distinctively Paint way back in 1998. Her love of all things renovation and her study of business at Dalhousie University combined into a passion for the construction industry. "Paint is the magic wand you can pass over a space and make it updated, fresh and new again!" she says. While quality work is never cheap, you can still get more bang for your buck by painting your space than just about anything else you could think of. "I just love being a cabinet painter - I love that I can give a client a new kitchen with out the expense and hassle of ripping it out and starting over. Not only does the client save thousands, the environment saves a perfectly solid set of cabinets ending up in the landfill - that's a win/win."

Diego Vasquez

Job Titles:
  • Service Manager
We discovered Diego as an experienced painter working on our team. Little did we know this closeted brainiac was doing his Finance Degree on the side! After a soccer injury landed him in the office doing administrative work, we were lucky enough to discover his many skillsets. Diego's primary role now is Service Manager where he's responsible for scheduling and client communications. He can also be found programming our software, doing project costing or when we're up against a deadline, jumping in on site to lend a hand.

Karl Rodier

Job Titles:
  • Field Leader
Karl is a career painter - he's been painting for 20 years. His extensive knowledge of paint, spray systems, and process makes him an excellent choice for our Field Leader. Karl has been instrumental in designing the systems and processes that we use everyday in our clients homes. He's a relentless tester of new product and systems, and a total stickler for details.
