CHAMPIONING BELONGING AND WELL-BEING AS DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Strategy is not separate from soul and

culture is not separate from care.

At CulturWell, we help forward-thinking AECD, healthcare, education, and housing professionals reduce stress and burnout by leveraging the built environment as a catalyst for belonging and well-being. Our work supports organizations in creating environments, policies, and practices that are as humane as they are effective.

Guided by our cultural well-being framework, we partner with leaders to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and create systems of change where belonging and well-being are not afterthoughts, but design principles.

We conduct holistic, evidence-based assessments to uncover how environments, policies, and practices impact retention, engagement, and well-being. Our findings provide a clear path to reducing stress and facilitating a deeper sense of belonging.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Collaborators
Say About Our Work

"We didn't have in-depth knowledge about aging-in-place or universal design. Angie helped us understand these concepts, and through her knowledge and engagement, we were awarded a bonus grant. It's important to hear from external experts because we don't know what we don't know."

BECKY KENDERES

Deputy Director,

Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation

“Dr. Scott is a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world insight when it comes to inclusive design. Her guidance has helped me rethink both the strategic and human dimensions of designing for all. Whether you're looking to audit your current practices or dive deep into inclusive design coaching, Dr. Scott brings clarity, compassion, and credibility. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any organization serious about doing better by everyone.”

AJ Paron

EVP, Design Futurist,

SANDOW Design Group

“Dr. Angie Scott is one of the brightest minds in the design industry. She is a gifted and natural public speaker who perfectly articulates the importance of health and well-being in design. She has an incredibly unique ability of presenting data-heavy research in a relatable manner.”

JOSEPH CEPHUS

Senior Vice President,

Novita Communications

“Dr. Angie Scott's super power is her unique ability to filter culture through the lens of design. Her outcomes are original and impactful. She both observes and imagines the world in a unique and socially relevant way.  And she puts her PhD to good use leveraging research, science and empathy.  If everyone worked as smart as Dr. Scott,  the phrase design impacts lives would have multiple new layers of meaning.”

SUSAN MACMURCHY

“I really thought the way you set those criteria and the community engagement that went into it was impressive. I was especially impressed with the structure, process, and format for achieving that engagement.”

Vice President & Design Researcher,

“Dr. Angelita Scott's input has been invaluable in helping guide us in an extensive program review and update, providing commentary and advice on well-being, social responsibility and equity components that are an increasingly essential aspect of sustainable interior design. Her dedication to establishing well-being and environmental justice as core to interior design practice is thoroughly evident in all her endeavors.”

DAVID BERGMAN

Program Director-Master of Professional Studies in Sustainable Interior Environments,

New York School of Interior Design

“Being a student of Dr. Scott was a valuable experience; she taught us about well-being and sustainability while encouraging excellence and empathy. As her student and honors thesis advisee, she inspired my love for research, which I later applied in my graduate studies investigating astronauts' psychological well-being in spacecraft interior environments. ” I wouldn’t be where I am now without her.”
