We had the good fortune of connecting with JULIA FISHER and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi JULIA, what do you want your legacy to be?
I want to be remembered as someone who listened — like, really listened — and made people’s lives feel a little easier. I love creating systems that actually work for the person, not just something that looks pretty on Pinterest. If someone says, “She made my home feel peaceful and finally functional,” that’s the dream. I want people to feel like their space works for them and reflects who they are. That’s the kind of impact I hope sticks.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Closet Jules started pretty organically — I helped a friend who was really struggling get her space in order, and something clicked. Seeing how much it changed her life made me realize this was something I wanted to do for others too. From there, it turned into a full-blown business built on word of mouth, hustle, and a whole lot of trial and error.

I work with all kinds of people — busy professionals, moms, creatives, people with ADHD or neurodivergent brains — but what they all have in common is feeling overwhelmed by their space. I help them take a breath, figure out what they actually need, and build systems that make sense for them. Not just what looks cute in a magazine.

What sets me apart? I’m not just folding shirts and labeling bins. I really get to know my clients and how they live — and I design around that. It’s personal, it’s intuitive, and it’s a little deeper than just “organizing.”

It definitely wasn’t an easy road getting here. I was juggling multiple jobs, trying to pay rent, and figuring it all out as I went. But I kept saying yes, kept showing up, and here we are.

At the end of the day, I want people to know this: your space doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to feel good to you. And that’s where I come in.

As for the name — Closet Jules — yes, it’s a play on my name and the fact that I spend a lot of time in closets, but it’s also about the vulnerability that comes with letting someone into those private spaces. There’s something really personal about that. And at the same time, it’s about finding the hidden “jewels” — the things that make a space (and a person) shine once you clear the clutter and let the good stuff through.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If a best friend was visiting, I’d want to show them my version of L.A. — the one I actually live in. We’d kick things off with a walk and coffee in Larchmont, maybe hit the farmers market if it’s Sunday. One day we’d drive out to Malibu, walk the pier, grab lunch, just get out of the city for a minute and breathe.

I’d plan a night at the Hollywood Bowl — sing-along or movie night — and do the full picnic setup. Wine, snacks, all of it. And we’d definitely head to Highland Park one evening — bowl at Highland Park Bowl, then dinner at Hippo. It’s just fun. Not trying too hard, but still feels like a night out.

And then Sunday’s kind of sacred. I hike Runyon Canyon every Sunday morning, so they’d come with me for that — talk, sweat, reset. Then we’d go grab breakfast at Great White and just hang for a bit. That night we’d do fondue and wine at my friend’s treehouse, watch the sunset, and wind things down right.

It wouldn’t be about hitting every trendy place — it’d be about the energy, the conversations, the mix of city and stillness. That’s the real L.A. I’d want them to see.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My friend Alyse deserves a big shoutout. She knew I was good with organization — mostly from experiencing how calm and functional I like to keep my own space — and told me about a friend of hers who was struggling with depression, OCD, and ADHD. She couldn’t really function or leave the house, so I helped her get her space in order. Once things were clean and calm, everything started to shift for her. That experience lit a spark in me — I realized this was something I wanted to do for other people, and that’s how this all began.
