The principal designer of Spoleto Design Group, Lidija Jugo, is an award-winning interior designer and licensed SC Realtor. Upon graduation in Interior Design, Lidija was recognized by Savannah College of Art and Design with an Outstanding Achievement in Interior Design award for her exceptional talent and motivation. She finished a four year degree program in three years, graduating Magna Cum Laude with bachelor of fine arts degree in interior design.

During her early career days, Lidija employed her talents with interior design firms on Hilton Head Island, SC. In early 2000 she was awarded participation in the Beaufort Designer Show House for the restoration and interior design of the historic Lewis Reeve Sams House/ca 1852. Together, with a selected few of the most recognized names and talents in interior design throughout Southeast region, Lidija contributed to its tremendous success. The project was featured in Atlanta Home Magazine.

In 2001 Lidija was honored with an Alumni of the Year Award for 2001 from Savannah College of Art and Design for her academic and professional attributes and accomplishments, and for her dedication, passion, and commitment to Interior Design.

Prior to relocating to Charleston, SC in late 2001 Lidija was head designer and partner at Hilton Head Island’s Love Interiors, an upscale accessories and furniture store that also offered complete interior design for residential, commercial, executive jets and yacht interiors. The move to Charleston was a natural progression in her desire to grow even further while living and working in an environment abundant with rich history, architecture and visual and performing arts – an environment she could assimilate with and draw inspiration from for her work and in every day life.

Spoleto Design Group evolved as a result of Lidija recognizing the economic changes that inevitably dictated new venues in problem solving related to interior design and real estate in general. Her professional expertise in interior design and home staging, combined with her knowledge and understanding of Charleston Real Estate also helps her colleagues and their clients create higher value for their homes, resulting in more and faster ratified contracts.

Whether her projects involve interior design, redesign, decorating, redecorating or home staging, Spoleto Design Group’s design process begins by identifying client needs and keeping those needs a priority through out all design stages while utilizing Ethan Allen’s high quality resources. All projects regardless of size or complexity commence by presenting a clear vision via conceptual sketches and drawings, detailed written proposals, and lead to completion on time and within budget.
