Editor in Chief
Editor in ChiefStephanie Maxwell Newton
Stephanie was thrilled for the opportunity to combine her passions for design, storytelling, and her home state when she joined the At Home in Arkansas team as editor in 2017. After graduating from college in Mississippi and graduate school in London, Stephanie moved back to Little Rock to begin a career in writing and editing that has spanned industries—but her favorite subjects have always been local creatives. When not on a deadline, you can find her flipping through a growing stack of magazines, poking around flea markets and estate sales, and enjoying her screened-in porch in Hillcrest with her husband, Patrick.

ACCOUNT MANAGERS
Isabella James
As the daughter of a homebuilder, Isabella is no stranger to the design industry. She has always loved seeing a new home or remodel take shape from start to finish, and now she gets to be a part of the process in a different way—by helping local businesses market themselves to At Home readers. Along the way, she’s enjoyed seeing how so many industry professionals work together when building something incredible. While she loves to travel and explore new places both near and far, Isabella’s also a self-proclaimed homebody; she loves spending time cozying up at her house, which she describes as “traditional and practical with pops of color.”
