Jade is an Artist + Experience Designer

Jade believes our environments shape us. She imagines a world where art, immersive experiences, and biology converge to help people flourish and enhance wellbeing everywhere they live, work, play, and gather.

Her practice explores how light, colour, and immersive experiences shift the emotional tone of a space. Drawing on research in neuroaesthetics, psychology, and sensory design, Jade creates installations that support wellbeing, foster connection, and anchor people to the present moment. Her works span light sculptures, participatory installations, and multi-sensory experiences.

With a marketing background, Jade brings strategic thinking, emotional connection, and audience engagement to her practice. She retrained as an artist and completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at RMIT University. While studying during the COVID-19 pandemic, she created ConnectUs, a conversational board-game helping students reconnect. It has sparked conversation for over 5,000 people and has been licensed across Australia and Vietnam.

Past Public Artworks

Through atmosphere design, Jade’s light sculptures Distant Rays and Urban Serenity bathe audiences in soft pink hues to invite calm amidst the noise of modern life.

Her work has been presented by NGV Design Week, the City of Melbourne, and at the Melbourne Fringe Festival opening ceremony. She was awarded first prize in BMW Group’s YourMelbourne competition and has undertaken residencies at Arteles Creative Centre (Finland) and River Studios (Melbourne).

She is currently delivering a year-long exhibition with Science Gallery Bengaluru featuring Forbidden Desire, a sugar-blown sculpture series exploring beauty, indulgence, and impermanence.

Jade Armstrong creates art that meets people where they are and transforms how they feel.
