About Us
Tagg and James is built on a foundation of artistry, craftsmanship, and a passion for transforming spaces. Founded by Paula Ball and Susan Stokes, our firm blends interior design expertise with project management to create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Our Background
Paula, a Buffalo native, has dedicated her career to the world of color and design. With an extensive background in color forecasting and trend-setting for major industry leaders, she brings a deep understanding of how color influences mood, style, and space.
​
Susan, originally from the UK, rediscovered her love for art in the early 2000s and pursued numerous certifications to refine her craft. Her journey led her to join forces with Paula, and together, they spent years mastering the art of decorative painting before expanding into interior design.
“We work together to design, create, and produce work that we are very proud of.”
Our Design Philosophy
At Tagg and James, we believe that design is more than aesthetics—it’s about storytelling, functionality, and creating a sense of harmony. Our approach is rooted in artistic expression, combining color, texture, and composition to craft interiors that feel curated and timeless.
​
We work closely with our clients to understand their vision, ensuring that each space reflects their personality and lifestyle. Whether it’s a small refresh or a large-scale renovation, we are committed to delivering designs that are both innovative and enduring.

Let us help you bring your vision to life with thoughtful, artful design.
