Julie is the best! She helped my parents move from their home of nearly 50 years to an independent living apartment for seniors and then again to an assisted living and memory care facility. With each move she took the time & care to help my parents through the transitions. She did the space planning, packing, move and set up of each new space. Each space was perfectly designed for their current needs. She was always immediately responsive to our requests. Most recently, after my mother passed away, she made herself available at very short notice to help us clean out my mother's room. She & Joshua were lovely with my father, kind and considerate during this difficult time. My family cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

Great interaction and timely responses. Juli responded immediately to my request for details

Juli at Modify is indispensable! She has helped me through several moves and transitions in which I wound up with an overwhelming amount of clutter, duplication and chaos in my home and garage. She brought just the right level of sensitivity, clarity, motivation, experience and knowledge to what otherwise felt overwhelming and impossible to manage on my own. She is kind, gentle and easy to be around - but her hands on work is fast and powerful. With a series of visits, we were able to fully declutter, organize everything that remained into easy to use, functional storage systems, and get donations to the right places. If you are moving, or just want to spruce up, declutter and get your spaces refreshed and dialed in, Juli is an essential investment to helping you achieve those goals without stress! read more

I had a very difficult couple of years, and was trying to find someone who could thoughtfully help me clean out our space and get our home feeling clean and calm. Enter Juli Julie transformed our home. We started with the obvious spaces like kids rooms and toys, we loved the outcome so much that we ended up doing the entire house, and also our garage. It has been about 6 months and everything still is holding the systems Juli put in place and the organization. It's really amazing how it holds up, and it has made our home feel so much better and it makes us all more efficient and calmer moving through our busy lives. One of my favorite parts was how Juli helps to donate everything and find thoughtful good homes for the things you decide to let go of. I find that's often the hardest part of the process. But Juli takes all of that on, and I always knew everything was going to find a good new home. I would do it again in a second, and hope to have Juli come back just to keep us on track. Total game changer and an amazing investment. Also, Juli is lovely to have around. Feels like a friend helping us get our life in order. read more

Juli is remarkable. What a phenomenal experience it was working with her. Ineffable actually (which is my only challenge in writing this review) as how does one put to words an Ineffable Experience? Because, for me, this was a life changing one. As in the 2.5 years i've lived in my home, she finally helped bring my initial Interior Design Vision -- into Reality. I am so very grateful! I absolutely highly recommend Juli! I just wish i had the courage to reach out to her sooner, as my recent life experiences had me stuck in clutter~habit~cycles. I therefore hesitated, in fear of letting a professional organizer&designer into my Home... to see all of my (interior) clutter (outward) on display! But she was masterful from start to finish, and did so with such joy, grace, and empathy. From the initial phone call, to the first meeting in the Space, to totally transforming it into the way you truly want. And the best part for me, Juli does ALL of this without any judgment. Ever. She helps you Purge items (which hold a lot of emotional charge) without pressure nor pretense. She gives you "theWhy" to the situation, wether that be Design, Decluttering, or Letting Go. She helps create a System, to help your home flow with ease. All of this saves so much time once that System is in place! And yes, she takes all items to be purged with her, so they're not rolling around your trunk for months, or "boomeranging back" into your home! Juli's efficiency is unparalleled. In a short amount of time, with a very tricky space, she masterfully brought my Interior Design vision into fruition. And i am beyond grateful.I would absolutely hire her again. I highly recommend her already to all of my friends, family and clients. You will be amazed at the Transformation she Creates With You. Wow Wow Wow! Modify with Juli, Today! read more

Now, I would call Juli, the "California's best of the best version of Marie Kondo with zen mindfulness & spacial design skills". I interviewed and called 7 different organizers and spacial designers and Juli caught my eyes with her simple, straightforward booking system and prompt correspondence. She took the time to understand how I use the space and we spent about an hour sorting things through together and after 4 hours I came downstairs and she transformed the garage! I ended up booking another session to go through the office & other areas. I am often complimented by my friends for my organization skills but Juli is 10x that skill + aesthetic design skills that I really appreciate. She's incredibly thoughtful, very prompt with her communications. She also sorts through items you can donate and get rid of items in such sustainable ways. Juli is absolutely amazing and 200% recommended! read more

We have been very pleased and impressed with the services from Juli and her company. She helped us move my brother-in-law from an assisted care facility in Sonora, CA to another facility in Marin County. We discussed the details with Juli in advance and she gave us an estimate. The move was completed exactly as promised, and the final price was as had been estimated. She oversaw the unpacking of his furniture, clothes and files and organized his room so well that when he moved in, it felt like home. Her work included finding, ordering, and assembling some specialized furniture. We are very pleased to recommend her! read more

Loved the work that Juli did with my closets and drawers! It's been about a month since she worked her magic and it's amazing how a good 'clear out' can make you feel. It's that great sense of calm and satisfaction you get when you're feeling in control and organized in your life. Highly recommend Juli! read more

Juli curated my books, figurines and sentimental items beautifully. Her work belongs in "Town and Country." She has a remarkable aesthetic eye; she hung my artwork with gallery-like quality. My flat has been transformed. Thanks Juli! read more

Juli helped with my over-packed and unorganized garage and she's become my go-to for all my projects since. Juli with Modify Organizing is a Jill-of-all-trades, she has helped me sort through my garage, closets, and kitchen. She even designed my garden. She was energetic and a blast to work with but my favorite part was that she somehow knew what to minimize and then we went through it together. This allowed me to work on other tasks while she worked and then do a kind of "summary" of things afterwards. It's easy for me to maintain the space but I just needed a reset. She's efficient, hardworking and has fair pricing for the level of work she has done for me. If you're looking for some help with a project or design you have been putting off, Juli is the gem you are looking for. read more

Modify Organizing - Garden design was fabulous! - Home Organization Near Me

See all

Juli is fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to organize their home or office. In addition to being highly effective, Juli is efficient, creative, and a joy to work with. Juli helped me clean out and organize my and my husband's bedroom. She showed me how to maximize space in our closet and drawers, rearrange items for smoother flow, and provide the impetus necessary to move furniture around. Our room finally feels like the sanctuary we envisioned! I look forward to enlisting Juli's help for additional projects in the years ahead read more

Juli was amazing at helping me declutter and clean out my walk-in closet, all of my dresser drawers and bedroom cabinets. She took all of my stuff and repurposed it. I'm definitely planning on using her and her crew for packing (with "editing") and unpacking (with more "editing") when we move. read more

Juli was a pleasure to work with. I am so happy I found her and will be using her gain. She helped me edit, organize, assemble, hang and make a plan so I could keep going after she left. Her heart is in it and she really loves what she does. An absolutely priceless experience. Thank you Juli for shifting my space! read more

Today was the best day. Juli came to help me clean up a years worth of Warhammer mini crafting that kept my son sane during the pandemic. I've had so much anxiety about the state of this space and it's disarray that I often avoided this entire room and Juli calmly came in and helped us clean up and organize today for over 2 hours. It went by so fast. She talked through everything with my son because he is very particular about his craft and this space (no doubt because of how important this was for him during the pandemic). We still have much more to do included our garage so I'll hold off on pics until we have the finished project but wanted to say, if you have a room or area you need organized I highly recommend Modify. read more

A mutual client needed help with reorganizing their SF office space. Juli was prompt, professional, and did an excellent job. Highly recommend! read more

Juli's skills are seriously amazing! She's trustworthy, accommodating, and very efficient. I'm not the best interior decorator but I wanted to have a more comfortable and meditative living space so I had her spruce it up! She did an absolutely amazing job. She completely revamped my office and living space in just under 2 hours. That's seriously fast considering the clutter I had goin' on. I very much appreciate her help and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Juli! read more

I'm so glad to have hired Juli to organize our chaos of a closet space earlier this year. I had a rough idea, but Juli made the vision become a reality within hours. Most importantly, she understood a minimalist design approach in a cramped urban apartment, which goes a long way. We no longer have a storage dump of a closet and can actually walk into it. I'll definitely look to hire Juli again to organize our space in the rest of our apartment! read more

I needed a local company to help me with a very specific problem. A metal rod was missing from a custom closet system in my condo (previous tenant left with it). I am no longer local, so I used Yelp to search for help. I located Modify Organizing and sent a message through the app with a detailed description and photos of what I was looking for - a replacement rod, custom length, for a custom closet system. Within minutes, I received a reply and a link out to a website that offers the exact replacement rod. Within a few minutes I had ordered what I needed - badda-bing, no charge. They bill themselves as problem-solvers (in addition to the many other services they provide). I am ecstatic. Thank you! read more

Juli tackled my garage with ease. I had been avoiding sorting through what needed to be tossed/donated/reorganized, and I dreaded looking around the garage every time I went in. With limited input from me, Juli had things sorted and organized in no time. She made piles of donations, trash, and recycling (breaking down numerous boxes) that are easily managed. I will definitely be calling Juli next time I need help with an organizing project! read more

I own a small wellness center in Santa Barbara. I am talented at what I do, but have always hired cleaners to help me with my space. They kept things clean but not functioning. Between doing hands on work and running the office I never had time or the right eye to really make my space what I wanted. Juli came in and within a few hours took apart organized and utilized every drawer, closet and functional space. She came the next day redid all of our potted plants hung a few pieces and changed the entire feel of the office, again in a few hours. My mind and business where set at ease after Juli came and energetically changed the entire set up. I truly feel she is a powerful spacial healer and functionality coach. She is also incredibly efficient. She takes your business and addresses all the dirt you have been sweeping under the rug. The messy closet, unorganized supply drawer, soil in your plants you name it. She is an incredible asset to any ones business or home. If you are lucky enough to find her and book her you are in for an upgrade. Michelle read more

I had to switch room and I have a ton of stuff for a small room. Juli was super helpful and good at organizing and moving everything for me which is a super overwhelming task for me to do alone. She even took all the donations with her from all the things I no longer wanted. I'll definitely ask her again if I ever need help with organizing anything. Thank you Juli!! read more

We hired Juli at Modify to organize our retail store's displays and extensive array of merchandise. She planned, organized, and transformed our sales floor into a cohesive, clean, fabulously shopper friendly experience, which immediately triggered positive comments and delight from our customers, lots of new business, and it really increased our sales! Juli was fast, efficient, friendly, and exceptional to work with! Next, we plan to hire her to transform our tired, cluttered, old home into one of her warm, cozy, organized masterpieces! read more

Julie is nice, courteous, and, honest. I would definitely recommend her for these services. Keep up the good work.

Juli is a gem! She better organized an already organized person and made my new apartment inviting and more functional. Also a genius at placing and hanging art, Julie choose the exact spot to best display the works. She spent time getting to know me and settled my apartment in record time, while I relaxed and was able to return to a beautiful new home. Juli's the best! read more

Juli was just fabulous. I couldn't figure out how someone else could determine what should be purged but Juli's methods are just so logical. This was such a great experience! read more

To be upfront, I am the type of person who is incredible at knowing where things are, and making my space my own, but I am horrible at figuring out things spatially at home. My house was pretty, but could be anxiety inducing at times. Finding Juli was a blessing, as she was patient, worked with me to understand what would make my space functional, and then managed to get it whipped into shape faster than I could have even imagined. The outcome was a household that was more functional, calming, and beautiful than I could have imagined. Highly recommend her to anyone who is spatially challenged or even people who just need to turn a new leaf in the way they think of their space. She exceeded my expectations by far! read more

Juli did a great job helping my Mom get her closet cleaned out and organized in her assisted living facility. She had a warm, respectful and collaborative approach that put my Mom at ease and helped her part with enough things and reorganize others that the space looked fantastic and had much improved safety. read more

Juli is fantastic! I hired her to help me think through home renovation options and she had so much valuable input. She has a great sense of space and is clearly very experienced in a wide variety of projects. Juli is so easy to talk to and came up with some really creative options. Really a pleasure to work with her, and I will definitely be working with her again. read more
