Meet Good_Space founder + designer, Jade Hurst.

Jade started Good_Space in 2020 after a decades long career in Marketing, which included running her own highly successful Communications agency. Having always been deeply inspired by beautiful physical spaces, Good_Space ignited as an idea to merge her devotion to both Wellness and Interior Design - a place where science and art collide and a perfect fusion for her curious creativity.

To carve out this new role for herself and to deliver something truly unique meant Jade’s path wasn’t traditional. She leaned into her innate design methodology and sought to expand her offering by studying building science, combined with human and environmental health impacts. She gained her credentials via the renowned International Well Building Institute, being only the eighth person in New Zealand to receive this.

Her design studio serves architects, construction companies and clients across New Zealand to design/build/renovate/style their spaces. With an approach that is both unique and collaborative, Jade brings building science together with aesthetics to design healthy and immersive spaces.

Along with her peers at the NZ Green Building Council, her primary goal is to set a new standard of how spaces are designed and built and to help spearhead the conversation in Wellness Design in New Zealand.

“Designing spaces to look great wasn’t enough for me; the purpose of Good_Space needed to be bigger and more compelling.

There’s been a huge shift in the way we view our spaces, the way we build and what it means to be truly ‘well’. Building for human and environmental health will soon be common place, because it’s common sense.”
