POSITIVE ENERGY from OUR CLIENTS…
“I highly recommend Julia for any building project that requires a thorough and creative feasibility study. She delivered a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the site, design and costs, and exceeded my expectations with her aesthetic and cool vision.“
Megan G. - Global Travel and Events
“Julia is unbelievably thorough and walks you through every step even in the feasibility study. What I loved most was the different options she gave you; a small scale project, medium size and a larger more in depth remodel.”
Julie S - Medical Physician
“With a problematic, hillside house, and challenges at every turn, a good friend recommended Julia to us for our home renovation project. Our first meeting was in person, where she visited our home and took photos, notes, and asked meaningful questions about what our goals were. Julia gave us new concepts for our property and thoughtful designs that got us really excited. After years of being in limbo and not moving forward with our much-needed construction, Julia planned our next steps and managed the project from start to finish.”
Ali & David - Film Industry
“We brought Julia on board as the lead architect for my flip projects, and she’s been a total game-changer. With an eye for detail, deep knowledge of city codes, and the ability to navigate plan checkers quickly and efficiently, she brings the kind of speed and reliability fast-moving projects like mine demand. She’s super easy to work with — responsive, friendly, and focused — making every step of the process smooth and enjoyable.”
Christian B. - Real Estate Developer
“On a more design-forward custom build in the Pacific Palisades, Julia has been nothing short of exceptional. Her expertise and understanding of the latest codes and her ability to coordinate with the city has kept everything on track, which is very much needed in sensitive environments like the Palisades. What really sets her apart besides her knowledge, is her design instinct — she brings fresh, thoughtful architectural ideas that truly enhance the space. Working with her has most certainly elevated the entire project.”
Kaleb K. - High End Interior Designer
“Julia, was instrumental in helping us navigate the permitting process with Redondo Beach. It felt like she was invested and committed to our success from the beginning. She’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to build a home.”
Nick & Nicole - Homeowner New Construction
“My husband and I have known Julia for years and we have just started the process of plans for an addition on our home. We kicked it off with a feasibility study and I was blown away by her innovative concepts, attention to detail and her ability to bring my vision to life. She is able to take feedback quickly and bring concepts to the table at all ranges of price points. Looking forward to more work with her”
Anastasia M. - Designer
“Julia has patiently listened to our ideas to help us figure out what we truly need for our project. She has guided us along the way with her expertise and helped us understand the process for getting a remodel done. She has been responsive and resourceful.”
Monica T - Financial Director - Classic Porch & Pitch
“In the overwhelming world of home remodels, JAGA was a glowing light. Julia listened to our vision and took notes on our lifestyle. Relying on her expertise and next-level creativity, she was able to guide us on a home remodel. She thought of all the details and made it easy to make quick decisions that we had full confidence in. We’d be lost without Julia.”
April T - Tech Experience and Sales
“Julia was invaluable in helping me establish a “vision” for my project design. Her architectural designs helped us get more from our space. She works fast and is so responsive and great to work with overall! Highly recommend!”
Jenny K. - PR Executive
“We hired Julia to design an office in a very unique space in our house. We had a vision we weren’t sure we could bring to life but she made it happen! Julia was so easy to work with, super communicative, created an amazing design, and then project-managed that design with her team of builders who were also great. We are so happy with the space and so grateful for her!”
Angie G. - Real Estate Agent
“My wife and I are currently working with Julia Gallagher on the redesign and expansion of our Brentwood residence. It has been an easy process and a pleasure working with her. Julia listens well and has brought young, creative and fresh ideas to the planning process.”
Bruce W. - Commercial Developer
Working with Julia has been a fantastic experience. Most importantly, she listens first to understand our needs and vision. She has been efficient and supportive to help us deliver our plan on a tight timeframe and budget.
Adam H. - Real Estate and Wealth Investing
“We are thrilled to be working with Julia on our two-story ADU in Los Angeles. The seamless integration of functional spaces and modern aesthetics perfectly accommodates our family of four, creating a harmonious living environment that exceeded our expectations. With her extensive team-building experience on larger residential and commercial projects in LA, she knew how to navigate DWP to understand and work with the existing encroachment in our backyard. We even met with case management at LADBS prior to submittal to streamline the permitting period. Julia has a great team of consultants that supplement her can-do ability to listen and design responsive architecture that fits our needs. This project qualifies our needs for both an investment for our immediate growing family and a long-term market asset to our property.”
Matthew B. - Real Estate Specialist
“I wholeheartedly recommend JMG. Julia was collaborative, responsive and thoughtful. She designed a functional yet creative space that has evolved with our family, while seamlessly managing all the moving parts of a complex residential build.”
Poppy S. - Strategic Leadership
“Julia was instrumental in not just the design work but helping us come to an understand of what we truly needed. Her creativity, both in the physical build out and the understanding of the space, coupled with the understanding of costs was amazing. Without her we would have not had the vision to create the spaces our family now cherishes everyday.”
Ryan M. - Investment Banking
Julia was instrumental on our complex hillside Bel-Air project. Always moving the design along for the field team with coordination energy second to non.
Jim C - Construction Project Manager
“As a first time homeowner attempting to tackle the monster of renovating a brownstone in NY, Julia was my lifeline. She not only made tasteful design suggestions and choices that brought my vision to life, she also guided me through the intense and technical process of renovating, executing and adjusting such a project. Without her, I wouldn’t have made it to the finish line with a house I love more every day. She’s the one..”
Luam K - Choreographer of the Stars
“Working on such a large scale project, I couldn’t have found a better partner in Julia. Not only does she posses incredible creativity, her professionalism during the entire time gave me the peace of mind that the work would be executed in the highest level possible.”
