Pamela Scholten

Pamela Scholten brings years of commercial and residential design experience and a history of satisfied customer service to the table. A prior career in social work informs her design practice, leading to an empathetic, human-centered, and client-driven approach that inspires holistic wellness, increases productivity, and improves outcomes! Her love of design is infectious and her passion is evident in each and every project! 

With over a decade of psychology and neurobiology research and the highest trauma certification available to a non-clinical professional, Pamela applies this knowledge to all projects to design safe, dignified spaces that enable people to show up with their whole selves and live rich, joy-filled, fully-present, and deeply connected lives! 

She also specializes in trauma-informed design consultation, auditing, training, coaching, and speaking services to help professionals and organizations design and lead through a more empathetic, trauma-informed lens.
