Business Interiors was honored to host Auburn University’s INDS healthcare interior design class and AU Interior Design Lecturer Kelly Martin at our Birmingham showroom.

Nearly 60 junior-level students made the trip from The Plains for a day that included lunch, a brief look at BI’s history and what we do, and a quick loop through our 20,000-square-foot headquarters.

The visit also featured insights from Goodwyn Mills Cawood’s Birmingham healthcare team—Steve Alby, Paul Fridl, Anne Kellerman, Nathan Arceneaux, and Maria Saldarriaga—who shared an overview of the firm’s healthcare design practice and introduced the students’ clinical design project for the semester.

The day concluded with a tour of Cooper Green Mercy Health Services led by Gresham Smith’s Erin Griffo and Sammi Woronoff.

We’re always glad to be part of experiences that give students a real-world look at how healthcare design comes to life.

Best of luck to all AU INDS students as they start the new year! ✨🦅

In her multifaceted role, Donna coordinates labor and installations for various dealers while obtaining essential quotes from installation companies.

Business Interiors set the tone for a successful 2026 by hosting our annual sales conference last week.

Samm Hill (VP of Sales) and Mark Griffo (CMO) led the charge as our full slate of Client Advisors and Account Managers teamed up in Birmingham for two days and two nights of camaraderie, continuing education, goal-setting, and lots of fun.

We take great pride in sharing that our conference theme—and theme for the year—is Elevate the Experience.

Our goal for 2026 is to Elevate the Experience first and foremost for our clients, who are the reason we are the best at what we do. We also want to Elevate the Experience for each other, building a better, closer-knit BI team each day. ✨

A special thank-you to our guest speakers: Mark Taylor from PNC Bank, Liz Rossilli from Sales Savvy, Joe Calamusa from Sales & Leadership Development Group, and Kristen Marcus with MillerKnoll. We are grateful for you all making us better today than yesterday. ❤️

We are honored to celebrate the incredible career of Debbie Caldwell as she begins her well-deserved retirement! After over 26 amazing years, we are saying a bittersweet farewell to a true cornerstone of our team.

Debbie’s journey with Business Interiors began in 1999 when she was hired by our late founder, Alan Pizzitola. From strengthening our presence at Auburn University and AUM, to her dedicated work with the U.S. military and the Southern Poverty Law Center, to her many connections in Montgomery’s A+D network, Debbie’s success came from one simple thing: she truly cares.

If you’ve worked with Debbie, you know she doesn’t just know your project specs—she knows your birthday, your family, and your stories. She has been the heart of our Montgomery office, and as her daughter beautifully put it at Debbie’s recent retirement lunch, “She is who we all want to be like.”

Debbie, thank you for being our constant, our leader, and our friend through every milestone. We will miss your daily presence, but you leave behind a Montgomery office that is stronger than ever thanks to the foundation you helped build.

We are honored to carry your legacy of service and excellence forward, and we are so excited for you to spend more time with your 8 grandchildren and your family!

Please join us in wishing Debbie the happiest of retirements. 🥂✨

As we enter 2026, Business Interiors is building on the momentum of 2025—a year defined by significant milestones and shared successes. We are incredibly grateful to our clients for their continued trust and to our entire team for the dedication that drove our achievements throughout the past year.

While we celebrate those wins, we are already looking ahead. We carry forward the valuable insights gained across every department to further sharpen our focus and enhance the way we support our partners.

We begin 2026 with the same tenacity we bring to our work every morning—a steadfast commitment to our vision:

EXCELLENCE, IN ALL THINGS, EVERY DAY.

Our goal remains to provide exceptional service and high-quality solutions while ensuring a positive experience for our clients and our team, day in and day out.

Cheers to 2026. ✨

This month, we recognize and applaud the invaluable work of Heather Coleman, one of our dedicated Designers based in Birmingham.

Heather has been an integral part of the Business Interiors team for nine years. In her essential role, she partners with clients, BI Client Advisors, Project Managers, and vendors to execute the core of our business: delivering successful projects. Her day-to-day involves creating space plans, product presentations, and technical drawings to provide functional, efficient, and aesthetically appealing spaces. As a hardworking and knowledgeable designer, Heather emphasizes that her focus is ensuring BI doesn’t just provide excellent solutions, but strives to be exceptional in every aspect.

One of Heather’s favorite projects was an Alabama Power project in Mobile, where her creative freedom resulted in a beautiful end result. Her background in the demanding A&D design world gives her a unique perspective on providing practical, effective solutions. Beyond her design expertise, Heather is known for her collaborative spirit and is a valuable mentor who makes a positive impact on her teammates.

“Heather is the kind of designer and teammate every workplace hopes for. She’s knowledgeable, hardworking, and always ready to lend a hand. Her kindness, ability to mentor, and fun spirit make a lasting impact on everyone around her.” —Celia Spurrier, Design | Director

“Heather is a joy to work with—clever, witty, and a true Herman Miller guru. Her leadership on the Alabama Power account keeps everything on track, and she’s been invaluable across many of our current projects. Most recently, Heather helped design the Herman Miller workstation package for UAB Biomed, spanning seven floors, and she’s supporting the upcoming Chilton County Courthouse project. Over the past year, she’s been instrumental in winning key projects, and we’re lucky to have her.” —Valerie Allen, Client Advisor | Principal

Thank you for your incredible work and dedication, Heather! ✨

Business Interiors was honored to sponsor the annual Holiday Party & Tree Festival events for both and . Thanks to the incredible creativity and generosity of the talented architects and designers who participated, we collected and delivered over 70 beautifully decorated trees to bring some much-needed holiday magic to the community. All these trees were donated to two amazing recipients:

🎄 USA Children’s & Women’s Hospital (Mobile, AL)
🎄 Studer Family Children’s Hospital (Pensacola, FL)

Shout-out to BI Client Advisor Jill Arno for spearheading our efforts at these events, to the entire BI Pensacola team, and to everyone at AIA Florida Northwest and AIA Mobile for making these two wonderful events and two heartfelt tree deliveries happen! ❤️

Auburn University at Montgomery’s $25.5 million Science & Technology Complex opened its doors to students in January 2025. This marked a major milestone in STEM education for the region. This impressive 57,000-square-foot facility transforms the academic experience. It features cutting-edge labs, collaborative classrooms, and a skylight commons that fosters innovation and interdisciplinary learning. Business Interiors is proud to have provided the furnishing solutions for this project.

BI worked closely with AUM leadership and facilities teams, as well as Williams Blackstock Architects. Additionally, the project’s successful completion and smooth installation resulted directly from the great coordination between Bailey-Harris Construction Company and the Business Interiors team. This landmark facility now strengthens STEM education. It sets the stage for the next generation of scientific discovery. The design prioritizes transparency, natural light, and connectivity. It aims to create an inspiring environment where students and faculty can engage beyond the classroom.

The BI team provided full furniture solutions. These solutions enhance collaboration and adaptability across the facility. The scope included: 35 private offices, 11 Science labs, 5 classrooms, 7 public meeting spaces, and specialized areas. These specialized areas were the Front Lobby, 2 receptionist stations, 8 Knoll Antenna Stations, 2 study rooms, 1 conference room, and 1 lactation room. Additionally, we integrated 42 Clarus Glass boards to support agile learning.

Business Interiors is proud to have contributed to this landmark facility, creating an engaging, functional environment that will inspire the next generation of scientists and innovators at AUM.

For the fourth year in a row, Business Interiors in Birmingham is proud to be a corporate sponsor for The Salvation Army Birmingham’s Angel Tree program. This holiday tradition is one of the highlights of our year. 🎄

We sponsored 50 children this year, and we are continually thankful for the generosity of our employees and industry partners who participated.

While our contribution is a small part of the overall effort to serve the over 3,500 children in the Greater Birmingham area, we are deeply honored to do our part and help bring joy to families in need.

A special highlight this year was welcoming WBRC 6’s Jeh Jeh Pruitt and the Good Day Alabama team to our showroom for a special segment highlighting the Angel Tree program and our collection efforts. And of course, it was a real treat to be a pick-up location for Birmingham MAX Transit’s Jingle Bell Bus as they rode around town with leaders from The Salvation Army and MAX Transit collecting all the toys and necessities. 🚎🎁

We know there are many charitable opportunities available during the holidays, which is why we want to thank everyone—our employees, our industry friends, and our community partners—for joining us this year to make this year’s drive a massive success.

In no particular order, thank you to Donna and Billy Dowling, Whitney Shubert, Tommie Ford, Chad and Chesney Moore, JP Polatschek, Adam Whitley, Aaron Scroggins and Chris Williams, Christina Edmondson, Lauren Taylor and Gordon Gray, Bain Hamilton, Katie Matkosky, Miranda Vickers and her daughter, Stephanie Calderello, the KPS Group Interior Design Studio, Jeremy Anderson, Lori Bailey, Kristen Marcus and Kristin Spencer with MillerKnoll, Lauren Hulsey, Mickey Davis and Candi Debardelaben, Heather Huddleston, and the Goodwyn Mills Cawood Interior Design Studio. ❤️

This month, we recognize and applaud the work of Joseph Blalock, our Assistant Controller. In just under a year, Joseph quickly became a key player, bringing increased clarity and precision to our financial reporting.

Joseph’s role is critical to the company’s financial health. His day-to-day work centers on gathering and transforming raw data into standardized reports—daily, weekly, monthly, and beyond—to ensure our leadership and teams have the most informed data to make sound business decisions.

Joseph joined Business Interiors nearly a year ago, bringing a solid accounting foundation from a prior role at a bank. He says the biggest misconception about his role is that you must be a mathematical savant to succeed. While numbers are central, Joseph finds the most enjoyable part to be the analytical work—telling the story behind the numbers to aid business decisions.

“Joseph has been a great team player! I really appreciate his extra efforts to go above and beyond and make sure we get what we need to execute.”
—James Decker, Architectural Products | Director

“Joseph has been instrumental in enhancing the clarity and accuracy of our reporting, helping our teams make more informed decisions. His friendly, approachable attitude makes collaboration effortless.”
—Samm Hill, Vice President of Sales

Thank you for your dedication to BI’s success, Joseph! ✨

BI Designers recently traveled to Chicago to tour MillerKnoll’s fabulous showrooms. Spread out over two buildings, the team toured MillerKnoll, Geiger, and NaughtOne, as well as Muuto, HAY, and MillerKnoll Healthcare.

In addition to the tours, our team met with several MillerKnoll guest speakers who spoke on ergonomic seating, workstations, design services, and product mapping.

We did all this to ensure that Business Interiors and MillerKnoll can continue to provide outstanding solutions and services for our clients. (It was also a lot of fun!)
