Designer and author spotlights today’s timely issues
Designer Jamie Gold is passionate about good design – and she knows that’s about a lot more than just pretty spaces. The San Diego-based independent kitchen and bath designer and author was one of the first to embrace the healthy home movement, and she considers it a personal mission to educate consumers and the industry at large about important issues such as sustainability, aging in place and how good design can also promote health and longevity. Indeed, these are all topics that she addresses in depth in her New Bathroom Idea Book, published in May.
She states, “Kitchen and bath professionals have long been involved in creating safe, functional, sustainable and stylish spaces that enhance our clients’ properties. It’s increasingly clear that we are also pivotal in enhancing their wellness through the growing link between healthy living and healthy homes.”
A three-time “Best of Houzz” award winner, she has also been published in a diverse collection of media ranging from The Huffington Post and SmartMoney.com to a monthly Trend Spotting feature in KBDN. A well known blogger who can be found at trade shows and design events from coast to coast and internationally, she approaches each project with an an eye toward “sensible style” that works for that particular space and its residents’ needs.
