Stephanie James Goldman

Founder, Designer

I want you to love every room I create for you, and I want you to love every piece in every room for as long as you own it. I want your home to be unlike any other – a perfect reflection of you.

To do that, I work to understand you. I want to know not just what you want and how you want to live, but how you see, so that when I show you a design you can know if it’s right. I want you to experience that moment when everything clicks into place, and I don’t stop until we get there.

But we do more than just dig deep and stay at it until we get it right. We're fast. We're efficient. We can do twice as much in half the time as other firms. That's partly because our experience in retail gave us a deep knowledge of more than 400 product brands and taught us how to find the brands that match each client best. Focused on the fact that this is not about our concept, it’s about your life, we work to make sure that you're happy with both the result and the process.

 

Monique Kidd

Designer

I find design inspiration in the beautifully styled showrooms of High Point Market, in poring over samples of fabrics and wallpapers, and especially in our clients’ homes. That’s where I get a sense of how the client lives, and it’s where I encounter those architectural elements that set this home apart and spark the ideas for the design of the space.

Isabel Faria

Designer

I have always had a love for the arts. Becoming a designer has allowed me to help others be encompassed by art. My inspiration is through the outdoors. I like every space to have an element of nature whether that is through natural light, biophilia, or a specific color palette.

Emily Chandler

Designer

I find inspiration in the colors and patterns of nature, the waves on the beach after high tide, the colors of seashells, patterns of leaves. I also find inspiration in the work of great designers and artists who stretch my imagination with new perspectives, let me see my own work in a new light, and convince me to try something new.

Phillip Stahlmann

Marketing Director

As the Marketing Director at Allen + James Home, I love connecting with people and building relationships while being immersed in such a creative environment. Our designers work to bring stunning spaces to life, and I take great joy in providing a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the AJH magic through our various marketing methods. Their work truly speaks for itself, and it is my job to showcase their projects and skills to inspire others to create their dream spaces with our talented team.

Janice Hughes

Expeditor

I love being part of a team that knows how to work hard and have fun. My role is to make sure all of our orders are accurate and on time – and keep clients informed of their progress – to ensure seamless delivery and a happy outcome for all!

Deborah Rogers

Merchandiser

I have always had a passion for all things design, merchandising, selling, and fashion. I love creating beautiful displays and making personal connections with people to better assist them with their vision for their home or a gift they are giving. I’m extremely proud to be part of the Allen and James team, and to welcome people to our warm, inviting boutique.
