About Julie Liepold

Julie Liepold: From Auctions at Sotheby’s to Studios in Sao Paulo

Awarded ASID’s Ones to Watch, Julie Liepold’s professionalism, style, and client-centric creative process have earned her recognition throughout the design community. The daughter of a European engineer and art teacher, Julie recognizes that good design combines form, function and flair with rigorous execution.  Julie fell in love with the fine arts, receiving her Masters in Interdisciplinary Art History and Arts Administration from NYU. She went on to become a certified appraiser and researcher focused on special collections.  Julie has worked with prestigious auction houses like Sotheby’s on diverse collections including fine paintings, American furniture, the collection of Margrave of Baden, and the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Looking to combine her love of art and furniture with the practical elements of design and project management, Julie completed her degree in interior design from NYSID and founded Liepold Design Group (LDG), a full-service luxury interior design firm.  Since 2004, Julie and LDG have served residential and commercial clients from New York to Los Angeles. Design flourishes with curiosity. The joy of seeking out and collecting exceptional and inspired decor is an integral part of Julie’s life. She is constantly exploring new sources and international locations to find inspiration.  Clients sometimes join Julie on adventures from Chelsea galleries in NYC to the rows at Brimfield antiques market in the Berkshires to seek for design that elevates life. Julie embodies the “Design Impacts Lives” philosophy and organizes annual pro bono interior design projects benefiting non-profit organizations. Past projects – the Polaris Project serving human trafficking survivors, the DreamCatcher Program sheltering women, and a local elementary school – demonstrate the power of design to improve people’s lives. Julie is honored to have received awards for her volunteer leadership from the Junior League and the American Society of Interior Designers. The results speak for themselves. Clean, current and timeless spaces for our clients.
