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! ✨

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!)

A special thanks to Joe Rinkinen, Susan Boven, Jessica Gambill, Laura Kinne, Jeff Rhoads, Lisa Molnar, Megan Powell, and Elishia Li for their expertise, to Abby Meenan, Margaux Laibe, and Stephen Sharp for their showroom hospitality, and to Kristen Marcus and Kristin Spencer for being our trip planners and hostesses.

Happy Halloween from the ghouls at Business Interiors.🎃🕷️🕸️

This month, we celebrate and applaud the work of Deminges Rutledge, a Senior Installer on our Field Services team.

Serving for over 20 years with Business Interiors, Deminges leads installation jobs and makes it a point to teach others about the different furniture systems we have. For him, the most rewarding part of the job is being able to go into an empty space and transform it into a great work environment. He is focused on making sure the job is done right, knowing that there’s a lot of pre-planning involved in some jobs and you really have to put in the work preparing before it even starts.

Deminges first got into the industry through his uncle’s business. In his two decades at BI, his knowledge has grown tremendously, allowing him to master a wide range of furniture lines. He offers simple advice for new hires: be patient, pay attention, be detailed, and always “Take pride in your work; it reflects you.”

“I have worked with Deminges for over 20 years, and during that time, he has always been a very reliable employee. He has a lot of knowledge with HMI products, along with many other systems that our competitors sell, making it very easy to support our clients’ renovation projects no matter what the product is. He’s also good at problem-solving when issues arise on projects to keep the install on schedule. Customers appreciate his work as well; he’s part of the install team that travels around the country installing all of Encompass Health’s De Novo Hospitals since he’s been employed with us. Keep up the great work, D!”
—John Owens, Client Advisor

“Deminges always seems to have a positive outlook, no matter the situation he’s in. His years of knowledge are a benefit whenever we’re problem solving. I wish everyone had his positive manner in life.”
—Lee Moody, Field Services | Director

“Deminges is a great guy. He has always been a fun loving guy. He is rarely in a bad mood and makes you laugh when you are around him. He also knows how to install furniture. Fun loving and can install furniture—what else can you ask for.”
—Charlie Crump, Facilities and Client Support | Director

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

Business Interiors is proud to have provided the furniture solutions and installation for Akima’s 31,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama.

This project represents a significant milestone for Akima, as it provides a secure and high-performance workplace tailored to their mission-driven work and underscores their commitment to Huntsville. McMillan Pazdan Smith (formerly Fuqua & Partners Architects) designed the new office, which features a comprehensive furniture solution that includes Herman Miller Canvas workstations, private offices, multiple conference rooms, and collaborative areas, as well as a large breakroom.

Business Interiors worked closely with the A+D firm to select finishes and refine the layout details. We also seamlessly coordinated with Akima’s team at their corporate headquarters in Washington D.C., handling all logistics for remote finish packages, showroom walkthroughs, and demo chair deliveries.

A unique aspect of this project was the successful integration of Akima’s Alaska Native heritage into the design. Culturally significant elements, such as a kayak installed in the lobby ceiling and authentic artifacts, that honor the company’s roots and complement the building’s natural surroundings. The floor-to-ceiling windows and mature trees provided a compelling connection between the interior and exterior environments, enhancing the design intent and creating a beautiful and functional workspace.

Business Interiors is proud to have partnered with Akima, delivering a dynamic and functional workspace that honors their heritage and supports their mission. We are privileged to have been selected for this competitive bid and to contribute to a space that will help them “win,” which is the Iñupiaq translation of “Akima.”
