Creative Services & Solutions is a project based company offering solutions in both the home, business and the entertainment community. It's owner Julie Anne Gardner prides herself on getting the job done, efficiently, effectively and seemingly effortlessly.

Hi and welcome. I am Julie Anne Gardner and I have worked as a professional organizer for more than seven years in and around Los Angeles. I have been described as "a force of nature" when it comes to successfully managing a project, a "task master" and a "angel", sometimes all by the same client and in the same day. I am also a singer, a published songwriter, and a Meisner trained Actor with a degree in Drama & Theatre Studies from Royal Holloway, University of London. I live in Mar Vista Los Angeles with my dog Missy. I love my work and the impact it has on on my clients and their lives.

Who might need my services?

I work with people who are in flux, their current surroundings are not organized and they are wasting time trying to find things. I might be called in when a client is setting up as new office space with regards to finding and hiring new employees, and setting up the flow of the office. Typically a client hires me because they have no extra time to manage this and run their existing business.

Recently a client who got so frustrated by the several weeks that she wasted just trying to secure her medical files gave up and called me and said "anytime I have a project that I just don't have time or energy to handle I think "just give it to Julie"! Her files were secured and delivered to her within 10days!

Other projects that clients have deemed "give to Julie" projects have been home/office relocation, de-cluttering homes and offices, creating efficient systems in both homes and offices, writing bios, press releases and web materials for clients, setting up web sites, designing marketing materials, making sales calls, managing events, writing jingles for for commercials and complete songs for movies. " I am one of those people in life where both sides of my brain are fully activated. I get a kick out of balancing a financial account to the penny and am also fired up by designing a new advertising campaign or writing a new song and performing it live!

"Being invited into someone's home or company at a time when a client may be in flux, disorganized and without structure and to be given permission to transform their space into an organized paradise, a place where they want to come home to or go to work in, is what keeps me in this business. I love the before and after that I get to see play out in my work. When I arrive I am typically met with fear and resistance, it can be very confronting to allow someone else into your private space and transform systems and structures - sometimes disorganization and disarray is what allows a person to stay quietly 'stuck in the mud', when we are 'stuck' we don't have to look at the bigger picture of our lives and what we could really be achieving. If a client lets me in and is ready for the change I can deliver, the effects can be breathtaking and as recently described by a client as 'simply a miracle.'

To be of service in this way to my clients and the community is what I am passionate about and that is what drives me forward."
