Our Story
Billings Tile Studio was created out of a desire to offer homeowners and builders a complete tile experience — from curated product selections and design planning to professional installation backed by craftsmanship and reliability.
John J. Szwedkowicz, co-owner and founder, has spent years mastering construction trades, tile design, and installation best practices. With decades of experience driving beautiful results in kitchens, bathrooms, showers, fireplaces, and flooring, John ensures every tile project is executed with precision, style, and lasting performance.
Joining John in ownership and leadership is Matt Wallace, co-owner and partner. Matt began his career building custom homes and performing high-end remodels in luxury markets including Santa Barbara, California and Aspen, Colorado, where attention to detail and refined craftsmanship were the standard.
Matt’s vision, leadership, and deep respect for design elevate the Billings Tile Studio experience, expanding its ability to serve both homeowners and contractors with integrated design and construction insight.
Together, John and Matt bring a powerful blend of design sensibility, technical expertise, and Montana-minded craftsmanship to tile projects of all sizes.
