Casey Stanhope, Designer & Owner

Welcome to Arthur James Interiors, inspired by my children, Grey Arthur and Wallace James.

Their names, a fusion of edgy and classic elements, beautifully encapsulate the essence of my design style—timeless strength and contemporary charm.

I'm Casey, a Connecticut-based Residential Interior Designer with a diverse background that has shaped my distinctive approach to crafting inviting and functional spaces. Raised in upstate New York and educated at Tulane University, I earned an Associate Degree in Interior Design from Parsons in New York City. My varied experience encompasses roles from a boutique woman-owned design firm, with contributions to noteworthy projects like The Razor House in La Jolla, CA, to an architecture/interior design firm specializing in residential homes, buildings, and mixed-use spaces. I’ve also spent time working in Hospitality Design, contributing to projects such as Rosewood Hong Kong and Grand Hyatt Chengdu. All of which have helped to shape my approach and technique.

My experience is varied and spans the globe; from working as a 3D Renderer in Tel Aviv to designing for private clients in New York City and the surrounding areas. I possess the curiosity, passion, and skills to seamlessly navigate through residential, mixed-use, and commercial design landscapes.

At the core of my design philosophy is a meticulous commitment to detail, coupled with an unrestrained sense of creativity. This ethos is driven by a genuine fascination with the transformative power of design, shaping not only physical spaces but also the moods and experiences of those who inhabit them. Design, for me, is a profound form of self-expression and empowerment, drawing inspiration from every facet of this art. My personal design style is best characterized as Bohemian Modern—a seamless fusion of textures, colors, and styles forming a unified language that elevates both the space and its surrounding environment.

While my personal design style is rooted in a modern aesthetic, I find inspiration in the diverse path’s clients take me. I am eager to meet you where you are, pushing the envelope and uncovering the potential of your space and individual needs. I deeply appreciate all design types, recognizing that successful partnerships thrive on a diverse range of creative elements, fostered by open minds, active listening, and effective communication.

Whether it's revamping a single room or transforming your entire space, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate and bring your design aspirations to reality.
