STALLWORTH is a living portfolio of projects and experiences curated by Madeline Spates.

Personal: Born with an innate curiosity and deep love for discovery, Madeline is inspired by culture, color, people, and travel. She seeks balanced life rooted in nature, community, adventure and nourishment. Beyond trends, she gravitates towards timeless, high-quality spaces, experiences, and objects—often unexpected, off the beaten path, antique—cultivating meaningful relationships along the way. Every destination under TRAVEL is personally visited and recommended, a list she began over 15 years ago. She works hard, travels often and is happiest by the sea, at the farmers market, on the dance floor, or hosting at home in Park Slope.

Professional: Madeline brings companies and brands to life through community-driven initiatives. She currently leads Special Projects at AlleyCorp, a New York-based venture firm, working closely with the founder to bring a new thought leadership gathering to life titled Odyssey.

In 2021, Madeline founded STALLWORTH to pursue and capture multi-hyphenate pursuits. Throughout her career, she has led 360° marketing and partnership initiatives for Air Mail, Artsy, EyeSwoon, and Oceanic Global; and produced physical and digital experiences for brands including BMW, Gucci, Crate & Barrel, Netflix, and UBS.

Named for Madeline’s extraordinary grandmother, Nancy Stallworth Thomas (b. 1926), STALLWORTH reflects her legacy of strong values, refined taste, sustained openness, and genuine commitment to community.
