Background

About Natalie Lieberman

Natalie Lieberman is an NCIDQ-certified designer specializing in restaurant design and adaptive reuse. Lieberman brings twenty years of design industry experience to Collect + Curate Studio, which she founded in 2014, offering interior design and creative consulting services. In addition to her affinity for giving neglected buildings a second life, Lieberman’s decades-long roots in the restaurant industry continue to drive her interest in niche projects and chef-driven restaurants. Before returning to Memphis, Lieberman worked in Atlanta, first in hotel design and later joining restaurant design powerhouse, The Johnson Studio. While living in Atlanta, she witnessed the rise of the urban revitalization movement, a revival largely fueled by successful adaptive reuse of existing buildings. This trend has gained momentum in Memphis and across the Southeastern US. Lieberman’s design talent, experience, and values are uniquely suited to preserve the character and authenticity of projects. She knows how to tell the story of building while breathing new life into the space. Lieberman has been recognized for her adaptive reuse expertise with a 2007 Adaptive Reuse Award from the Atlanta Urban Design Commission for Ecco in Midtown Atlanta, and has utilized this talent with many adaptive reuse projects such as Bishop, Cocozza, The Liquor Store, City & State Coffee and Retail Shop, Hog and Hominy and Kinfolk.
