Julie helped us create a home that our family loves and cherishes. She understood our needs, had patience with us, and came up with creative ideas to accommodate our needs. She was able to manage challenges that presented along the way and maintained good communication not only with us, but with other people involved in the project (contractor, subcontractors, etc). The entire project from initial discussion of it until the end ran smoothly thanks in part to her thoughtful and insightful creative solutions.

Julie is a great listener and is willing to step in and help wherever she can. She knows how to work with other contractors and people on the site. You know she will always give you the honest answer, and you can trust her completely. She was a great asset on our remodel team and we are thrilled with the end result.

I wish I could give JMJ Studios ten stars!! Working with Julie and her team was a delight. From the day I met Julie I felt a connection with her. Julie always put our design goals first and integrated them into our house plans. She gave us multiple design options and helped us narrow down our plans to find the right fit for our family and budget. She has impeccable design skills, communicates with ease and clarity, and is a pleasure to work with. She also helped us with interior design choices. Julie and her team went above and beyond our expectations. We feel so lucky to have found such an exceptional architect and an extraordinary person to work with us.

Julie Johnson at JMJ Studios is a master of modern design. With experience in helping to design some of the Bay Area’s most coveted buildings–such as the California Academy of Sciences and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory–she now brings her talents to residential design. She transformed my old rickety carport into a unique contemporary garage that everyone now raves about. Not only is Julie’s aesthetic amazing, she is warm and delightful to work with. If I could rate her 10 stars, I would.

Julie did an amazing job with our major remodel in Mill Valley, where we put a third story on our home. Six years later, we still love the remodel and wouldn’t change a thing. I would not hesitate to work with her again.

Julie and her team were wonderful to work with during the upgrade and remodel of our mid-century home in Sausalito. It began with Julie have to create a proper set of plans for our 60 year old property, and included structural (internal and external) work as well as removing and moving walls, creating a full bathroom out of a dirt-floor storage area, and creatively bringing much needed light to a dark great room. Through every stage of our remodel, from conception to design, then project oversight, Julie worked closely with us; she listened to our ideas and concerns and incorporated them into the plans. Once when a mistake was made on her side, she quickly owned it and made it right. She continued to be responsive and helpful throughout our 12 months of work. We especially appreciated Julie’s flexibility when we asked her to work with a designer and contractor she did not know. She did so with grace and professionalism and has gone on toe collaborate with each of them on other projects. We highly recommend Julie and JMJ Studios.

I will start this review with full disclosure. Julie, the founder of JMJ Studios is my amazing wife and life partner. I realize that I’m overly biased but I wanted to share what I have observed over the last 13+ years of knowing Julie. First of all, she is a gifted and talented architect with a passion for her work. She is highly creative and has particular attention to detail that shows in all over her work. We have remodeled several properties together and if I were to sum up her work style by an inspiring quote it would be “Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design.” – Charles Eames.
