FOUNDER & HEART OF JOYFUL COMMONS

A young woman stands indoors against a brick wall, smiling. She carries a backpack, holds a green-and-white checkered notebook, and wears a dark blazer over a white top with dark trousers. There are large floral arrangements and warm lighting fixtures behind her.

Jade Granda is the creative force behind Joyful Commons: A coworking and play space born from her own journey as a working mom. For over 6 years, she has been the CEO of Joyful Events by Jade, a boutique wedding planning company, and co-owns Brie & Baskets, a luxury picnic event experience. 

With a two-year-old in tow and no place to work with peace of mind, she realized she didn’t need to do it all, she just needed a space that understood her reality.

So she created it.

Joyful Commons blends historic charm with flexible, family-first design. Jade’s vision? A space where your caffeine stays warm, your emails get answered, and your kids are safely playing–with threads of relief, comfort and delight woven throughout.

Jade also hosts The Cookie Table Podcast, where she explores celebratory traditions, big dreams, and the beautiful chaos intertwining family and entrepreneurship.

A proud Pittsburgh mom, designer of joy-filled experiences, and champion of real parenthood, Jade believes in raising both tiny humans and bold ideas without compromise.

As a lead planner with Joyful Events by Jade and a mom herself, Desireé brings calm, care, and serious multitasking magic to everything she does.

At Joyful Commons, she’ll be the steady, smiling presence in the play space—watching over your little ones while you get down to business (or just breathe for a minute).
