Libby Copeland, ASID

After more than 30 years experience and more than 16 ASID Design Excellence awards, Libby is well established in the Arizona interior design community.

Libby studied art in Kentucky and Chicago at Murray State University, the Chicago Art Institute and the American Academy of Art. Next came marriage to her husband Mike and their twin daughters, Regan and Becky. Mike’s work brought the family to Arizona in 1973. As Becky and Regan began to grow up, their mom decided to pursue her real love, interior design.

In 1980 Libby graduated from Scottsdale Community College with an Interior Design degree – number 1 in her class. Her first job was at the Design Studio at Barrows, where she remained for almost 12 years, establishing herself as an award-winning residential designer.

Libby excels in programming, space planning, furniture design, lighting design, has extensive product knowledge and possesses an innate color sense.

She passed the rigorous exam in 1983 to become certified by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and is a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). She is a former president of the Arizona North chapter of ASID and has chaired numerous chapter committees. The chapter awarded her both the “Designer of Distinction” award and the “Medalist” award – the highest award given at the chapter level.

Libby has taught advanced interior design classes at the community college level. She established her own firm, Copeland Interiors Inc., in 1992 where she specializes in residential design, with occasional commercial projects.
