好心地文創團隊來自於不同領域，集合多種面向發展，對於美好事物有特別的執著，於是為了發掘台灣在地之美而努力。幽默和美食在團隊間從不短缺，因為好心地文創相信理想的生活來自於對生命的熱愛，因此，我們將這份熱忱實踐在工作當中，創造更多在地的美好經驗。團隊年輕活力、縝密的執行力是其特色，認為將設計做好是基本，最重要的是可透過設計不同的方式進而影響社會，並在專案執行的過程中，以公益、公共福祉為最高目標。
土地公是全台灣最多分身的神祇，無論多麼城陲鄉野之地，總能見其支部設立，親達現地守護鄉土。而當人們談論設計產業的同時，能否也回歸土地公精神，把圖紙談兵化做培植土地創作的能力？
好心地文創前身為一家單純的設計公司，其創建於2008年，創辦人兼執行長黃奕杰希冀在傳統產業裡尋求設計注入的可能，認為：「如果要把土地創意談得更加徹底，那就必須讓設計師離開電腦，真正走進台灣鄉下。」於是在2013年成立了第一家台灣在地文產概念店「好,的」，以實地踏察挖掘台灣的Hidden Art，同時，也協助育成微型工藝及食農品牌。在與工藝家共進的過程，好心地文創感受台灣土地創意被理解認同的喜悅，也加深確信台灣土地創意的不可取代性。經過兩年多試驗，好心地文創終於在2015年展開分身護植計劃，走入更貼近創意源頭的南方，在高雄駁二藝術特區開設「好,的 駁二旗艦店」，正式踏出「一城一店、限地文產」的第一步。打造城鄉產物店 – 工藝是自傲的土產
存在台灣角落有許多不為人知的微型工藝品牌，「好,的」創辦初衷原是為了提供這些微型品牌銷售平台。自2013年於台中成立台灣在地文產概念店「好,的」開始，「好,的」便積極醞釀一城鄉一小店的計劃，而駁二旗艦店正是落實想法的第一步。「好,的」展店原則：每一次都要更加重在地特色，增加「限地限定」選品，並有講堂學程提供在地作者與消費者互動。未來，「好,的」自我期許能在各城鄉陸續拓展文創產物店，正如人們旅遊必訪當地產物店買伴手禮，希望台灣工藝成為國人首選、外國人必買的驕傲土產。

Build a shop that sells products from countries. Crafts are the proud local product.
There are many unknown micro craft brands in Taiwan, and the purpose of establishing “Howdy” is to provide these micro brands a sales platform. Since 2013, at the beginning of founding “Howdy” that sells Taiwanese local products in Taichung, they tried hard to ferment the idea of one-countries-one shops. The flagship shop in “The Pire-2 Art Center” was the first step to fulfill the idea.
“Howdy flagship shop at Pire-2” put more emphasis on the local features and add the products, which are limited to the location. There also held some lessons to provide local artisans to interact with consumers. In the future, “Howdy” hope itself can keep expanding more shops in every country, and just like the people, who must visit local souvenir shops to buy the souvenirs. “Howdy” hope Taiwanese crafts can become the first choice for Taiwanese and the must buy the souvenir for the foreigners.
