Vaysen Studio

Susanne Angarano, Owner, and Brian Burns, Business Development Manager, are attending the joint conference of the Vermont Superintendents Association (VSA) and Vermont School Boards Association (VSBA). The majority of the event will be held on Friday, October, 25 in Fairlee, VT. The conference will feature thought-provoking learning sessions and excellent networking opportunities. We would love to chat with you and answer any questions you may have about educational planning, stakeholder engagement, and interior design. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there!

On Saturday, October 19, Kristen Hill (AIA, NCARB, ALEP), Educational Environment Strategist; and Melissa Mountain (ALEP), Interior Designer / Design Strategist will be hosting a 90-minute presentation, “Stakeholder Engagement Methods Design Jam” at the 2024 A4LE LearningSCAPES Conference in Portland, OR.
 
The workshop explores tools, methods, and best practices for engaging stakeholders in the design process and offers perspective on the value of building stakeholder agency and stewardship of their own learning environments.  
 
Vaysen Studio works together with clients to create a custom engagement process that not only results in user-centered, high-performance learning environments; but also lays the groundwork of a change management process allowing stakeholders to step outside their everyday and think about how they can evolve their own thinking and work using the built environment as a tool. Together, in a fun, workshop-style environment, Hill and Mountain will interactively build and test some new methods for engaging with stakeholders while interweaving case studies including the West Irondequoit Central School District Learning Environment Master Plan and Library Media Center Renovations and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe New Mohawk Elementary School Feasibility Study. 

Exciting News! As of September 3, 2024, Vaysen Studio is now a certified woman business enterprise (WBE) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!

With an established portfolio in Massachusetts consisting of stakeholder engagement, educational planning, and interior design – we look to continue to build relationships with teaming partners and clients.
