Julie Johnson–Holland – Interior Design:

Julie Johnson–Holland works closely with her clients to understand their distinctive visual style. Armed with this valuable information, she then implements an interior design plan that closely mirrors the client’s unique approach toward life.

Originally from Southern California, Julie Johnson–Holland’s keen design eye was developed through two different academic channels. She graduated from the prestigious Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and later launched her career with store design projects for high–end retail giants such as Bloomingdales and Viacom.

“Although it was retail, I believe this is where I learned the significance of visual impact and how it can influence a space,” Julie says.

Later she earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts (interior design) with an emphasis in construction management from California State University, Chico.

Julie understood early on that a strong working knowledge of construction practices is at the root of creative, yet effective interior design. It is this forward–thinking professional philosophy that makes Julie a welcome partner in any home project.

Julie’s interior design portfolio is vast and varied.

With a family history long steeped in the building industry, it’s no surprise that Australian native Mark Neave became a building apprentice at age 17. He honed his skills remodeling exclusive Sydney Harbor and beachfront properties, as well as boutique Estates in Australia’s premier wine region, The Hunter Valley.

Eager to expand his building repertoire, Mark set his sights on the United States where he has developed a successful construction company with offices in Mammoth Lakes and Truckee, California. Serving the Eastern Sierra, as well as the San Francisco Bay area, NSM has an ever–expanding roster of custom remodels, additions and new home projects to its credit.
