What Stibler Associates does

Stibler Associates is a privately held, woman-owned and women-led commercial interior design firm headquartered in Bedford, New Hampshire. Founded on August 2, 1982 by Phyllis Stibler, the firm delivers a full suite of interior design services — space programming, space planning and analysis, design development, interior construction drawings and specifications, furniture/furnishings/accessories specifications, project supervision and administration, architectural branding, and documentation management for multi-tenant buildings. Service delivery uses industry-standard commercial design tooling, including 3D visualization and virtual reality walkthroughs to support client iteration and feedback. Staff hold NCIDQ, LEED AP, WELL AP, ASID, and IIDA credentials, enabling the firm to design for LEED and WELL certification outcomes.

The firm serves four primary verticals: corporate workplaces, financial institutions (banks and credit unions), healthcare and senior living, and hospitality. Named clients include St. Mary's Bank, Members First Credit Union, Provident Bank, Shriners Children's Twin Cities, RiverWoods Exeter, Glen House Hotel, DoubleTree by Hilton, WIN Waste Innovations, Wheelabrator Technologies, Unitil, Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, and Red Oak Apartment Homes. Geographic reach is anchored in New England with selective projects across New York, Minnesota, Texas, Florida, California, and the UK.

The business model is professional services fee-based billing on multi-year, project-specific contracts — similar to architects and engineers — with no commission-based product sales. Go-to-market is relationship-led, driven by direct client engagement, repeat engagements, and referrals from a recurring network of architects, contractors, and community partners. Distribution is fully direct with no channel intermediaries, and marketing is conducted primarily through a project portfolio website, an active blog, professional association memberships, and community involvement.
