I’m a San Diego-based Wellness Design Consultant, Certified Kitchen Designer, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach, journalist, speaker, industry consultant and author.

Since becoming a designer in 2004 after a three-decade career in media and marketing, I’ve completed hundreds of kitchens and baths, working with homeowners, architects, builders and contractors across the country, both in person and remotely. My professional focus is the link between healthy living and healthy home spaces. This was one of the reasons for my inclusion in a 2017 industry 50 Innovators list.

My first book, New Kitchen Ideas That Work, published in 2012 by Taunton Press. My second Taunton book, New Bathroom Idea Book, publish

NEW POST: Could Smart Home Technology Have Saved Gene Hackman’s Life?

Hillside home in Santa Fe surrounded by lush green foliage.

The legendary actor died alone, brought down by his Alzheimer's and severe coronary disease. But also because of his isolation. That could happen to many of us — myself included — as we live longer on our own. I pondered at the time, and ever since, whether smart home technology could have prevented his tragic fate, and could be a solution for the 16 million older adults who live alone in the U.S.

Quotes by Jamie Gold  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Your new kitchen should look like it was "born there." That doesn't mean it has to be the exact same style as the house. (You can put a modern kitchen into a Victorian, for example.) It just means that it has to complement the spaces around it.”
Jamie Gold

“Radon may be one danger you haven’t heard of. Like carbon monoxide, it’s undetectable without a sensor. It is a slower-acting gas that forms naturally in soil, rocks, and groundwater but is the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoke.”
Jamie Gold, Wellness by Design: A Room-by-Room Guide to Optimizing Your Home for Health, Fitness, and Happiness

“The latest, most wellness-focused advance to smart home lighting is called humancentric or circadian lighting.”
Jamie Gold, Wellness by Design: A Room-by-Room Guide to Optimizing Your Home for Health, Fitness, and Happiness

“A $100,000 kitchen won't turn a $200,000 condo into a $300,000 resale.”
Jamie Gold

“Your new kitchen should look like it was "born there." That doesn't mean it has to be the exact same style as the house. (You can put a modern kitchen into a Victorian, for example.) It just means that it has to complement the spaces around it.”
Jamie Gold

“Nobody likes the "A" word, but everyone ages. You can have an aging in place master suite that looks like a resort hotel, rather than a rehab hospital room.”
Jamie Gold
