A Human-centered Approach

Equity is a significant issue of our time.

**It’s an uncomfortable truth, but we can do hard things.**
I’m Dr. Angie Scott, Founder of Angie Scott Design. As a design researcher and health equity leader for well-being in the built environment, I speak to people around the world who want real change to remove barriers and red-tape for ALL people to thrive in the spaces we live our lives.
So I decided to put real “skin” in the game to serve minoritized and underserved communities, especially those of color. I leverage my 20+ years of experience and doctoral education in evidence-based design research to positively impact people's mental, physical, and CULTURAL well-being. Not just to survive-but to thrive.
Our research, engagement, and advocacy takes a preventative approach to people’s well-being supported by the spaces we live, work, play, learn, and worship. This holistic approach of viewing well-being through an equity lens makes us unique in our field and qualified to meet your needs where you are.

A Lil’ Praise Break

From Our Valued Clients and Colleagues

“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. ”

— Becki Kenderes, Deputy Director, Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation

“We did not have a clear understanding of the project criteria. Dr. Scott helped facilitate the process of developing a plan with clear outcomes through her guidance and focus group engagement. Now we have a clearly defined project with objectives and strategies that are germane to our organizational goals. ”

— Anonymous, Co-founder & Community Development Manager

“Dr. Angelita 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. I have had the distinct pleasure of serving with Dr. Scott on multiple panels focused on diversity in the industry. Her perspective and expertise on the dire need for equity in design and education is essential to creating positive change. She has an incredibly unique ability of presenting data-heavy research in a relatable manner.”

— Joseph Cephas, Senior Vice President, Novita Communications
