They say 'home is where the heart is...' and I think that's true -- I wanted my home to reflect what was in my heart. Julie has the rare and precious gift of being able to instinctively turn a space into an honest and authentic reflection of the individuals inhabiting that space. Each and every detail -- so personal, so poignant-- and with an effortless style sensibility. She used mostly what I already had and turned it into what I only dreamt it could be. Julie works her magic and you find a once small space feeling more spacious -- cluttered nooks turn to breathing spaces -- and old keepsake treasures become integrated in as new design elements. Thanks to Julie's creativity, my home now whispers exactly what I wished for... 'Love Lives Here.' Julianna Alonso Senior Director, Gap Marketing
I've worked with Julie for years on several different projects. She has worked with me on my homes and my offices. Her keen eye for design, space, and color combined with her natural sense of style sets her apart for any other designer I've ever worked with. Being in a creative line of work, I consider myself reasonably good at making choices around fashion, art, and design. But I find myself asking WWJD -- 'What Would Julie Do?' Robin Ross, CA
Julie Neil is the most delightful person and designer I have ever worked with. I have not seen such creative style and design that is so true to the integrity of the finished design and outcome. Julie mixes her amazing creativity with attention to detail and the end results truly wow and amaze people! Connie Irwin Realtor, Marin County, CA
Anyone who has seen Julie’s work knows she has an exceptional eye for design. But that isn’t the only reason why she’s so good at what she does. She also has a terrific, intuitive sense of how people respond to the spaces around them. Whether in a residential or retail setting, Julie is a master at creating inviting style. So when it came time to sell our home, we knew we’d be wise to seek her staging advice. Although her work photographed beautifully, Julie knew better than to turn our home into a lifeless reproduction of a design catalog. In some rooms she added; in others she subtracted. But what often made the biggest impact was her ability to take the furniture and art we already had and arrange it in a fresh and beautiful way. It was still our home, only better. Much better. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Vicki Pederson Attorney
We were so fortunate to have Julie stage our home for sale. She made a complete transformation in just days - it was stunning! The home sold in just one week. In that process she taught us about de-cluttering & organizing in a practical way...not an easy task living with 4 young kids. We loved what she did with the staging so much that we asked for her help in designing our new home. Julie has incredible design concepts & amazing ideas. I felt like she always had our project in mind. She was constantly coming up with fresh, innovative ideas that we hadn't seen anywhere else. She was mindful of our budget and helped direct us where to spend and where we could save. Everyone who enters our home is wowed by the design and decor. Not only is Julie extremely talented and a hard worker with great integrity & humor, she is a total joy to work with. We look forward to the next project with Julie! Margaret G San Anselmo, CA
