Tammy St. Philip

J. ASHLEY DESIGN STUDIO

Tammy St. Philip quickly realized that retirement was not for her! Two years ago, she began to pour her ideas and energy into J. Ashley Design Studio, named after her daughter, Jordan Ashley. She is right where she was meant to be. “I love helping women embrace their confidence. Working with women of all ages to feel good about themselves brings me such joy,” says Tammy.

A favorite example of this opportunity is the volunteer work she has taken on with You Night, a sisterhood that empowers women battling cancer. Each year, there is a fashion show where survivors get glammed up and strut their stuff on the runway. J. Ashley Design Studio was able to supply all of the dresses, jewelry, shoes and more for the big event. Tammy is happy to share that she will be helping with You Night again this year, calling it a life-changing event that has made her job sweeter. Participants feel the very same way.

J. Ashley Design Studio is located in the heart of Mandeville, in the center with Martin Wine Cellar. The studio offers apparel, accessories, jewelry and a selection of gifts for the home. As a stylist, Tammy taps into what trends are happening in fashion and home décor to bring fresh looks to her customers. “Getting to know what my customers are looking for this past year and watching the store grow has been a blessing and a privilege,” says Tammy.

“Every woman of every age should be able to reward themselves, regardless of their budget,” she says. If you are looking to further define your personal look, consider a private styling session with Tammy, available by appointment. She can relate to her customers very well by drawing on her own life. Through a year filled with change, setbacks and a range of emotions, Tammy chooses to shine through the chaos. She believes regardless of what life throws your way, if you face it with courage, kindness, style and most importantly, faith, dreams really do come true.

Tammy has been married to her husband Chuck St. Philip for 29 years, and they have two grown children. Tyler, who is 25, and Jordan, who is 22, have been so supportive, watching her follow her dreams to create this special boutique, a true reflection of who she is. In her free time, Tammy is one of two places, her backyard or in Destin with a good book. Her favorite genre are inspirational or motivational tomes that further her commitment to embracing your true self. Tammy has certainly done that in her own life with the creation of J. Ashley Design Studio.

J. Ashley Design Studio is located at 2881 US 190, Suite D-3, in Mandeville,778-0965. jashleydesignstudio.com.
