Angie Scott, Ph.D., Allied IIDA, and Allied ASID, is a well-known expert regarding well-being and inclusive design in the built environment. She is the CEO, Principal Design Researcher, and Strategist at Culturwell. Through evidence-based design and strategy, her consultancy aims to improve retention, sense of belonging, and well-being in built environments by collaborating with innovative leaders in architecture, healthcare, housing, and education.
