How Spaceworks’ CEO is Driving Innovation, Sustainability, and Inclusivity in Workplace Design
Lizzi Whaley Shaping the Future of Design with Purpose
Opinion
At Spaceworks Interior Architecture, we love to celebrate our CEO, Lizzi Whaley, who was recently featured in Denizen Magazine and Porsche New Zealand’s The Drive campaign. This inspiring series spotlights some of New Zealand’s most trailblazing women, diving into their motivations, journeys, and the positive impact they make.
Recently, we had the privilege of attending The Drive campaign event, beautifully hosted by Porsche New Zealand at the stunning Ada Restaurant. It was a gathering of visionaries, innovators, and changemakers, united by a shared purpose of driving progress and creating meaningful change.
A standout moment for us was meeting Emma Lewisham and hearing her incredible story. Her evidence-based, natural skincare brand is a testament to the power of innovation and sustainability—values that align closely with our ethos at Spaceworks.
For the Drive, Lizzi shared insights into her journey as CEO of Spaceworks, reflecting on how great design goes beyond aesthetics to create spaces that foster inclusivity, sustainability, and a sense of purpose. As she shared during the campaign:
“The secret to being driven is to have a purpose. For me, it’s progress. Design can change the world, and from my small corner, I aim to make an impact.”
Events like this remind us of why we do what we do. At Spaceworks, we design workplaces that empower people to thrive, foster innovation, and build connections. Our mission is to create spaces that reflect not just where people work, but who they are and what they aspire to achieve.
A heartfelt thank you to Porsche New Zealand for championing such an empowering initiative and for supporting the incredible work of Make-A-Wish New Zealand. We’re honoured to stand among these trailblazers, celebrating purpose-driven leadership and the lasting impact it brings to our communities.
