Scott Edwards Architecture is excited to partner with @codesigncollab Collaborative on an interactive workshop where women from our multi-family team will walk attendees through How to Use Post-Occupancy Evaluation for Positive Change. We will share case studies from recent post-occupancy evaluation (POE) findings and how they informed future design and development decisions. Small breakout groups will collaborate to build a POE for a hypothetical project, determining quantitative and qualitative feedback desired to influence stronger, more inclusive designs on our next project.
We hope to see you on May 13th! Attendance is free and space is limited. Link to register is in our bio.

Remember the 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 we hosted in Boston back in November? 🧐
We’re bringing it back this March, again in partnership with the incredible team at CoDesign Collaborative !
Same heart 💜
Same people 👥
Same focus on helping leaders slow down, recalibrate, and lead with more clarity, energy, and influence—especially coming out of a long year and into a fresh Q1.
𝗔 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗻𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗳:
➡️If there’s professional development budget you haven’t tapped yet, this is a smart place to invest it.
➡️You’ll walk away with tools you can use right away—grounded, human, and practical.
March is the perfect moment to reset, not react.
To invest in your leadership before the year fully takes off.
🔜More details soon + early bird announcement
If November resonated with you, or you wished you’d been there… this one’s for you.
💜

No matter the weather, we love watching the seasons change around the South End!
Earlier this fall, Hacin Principals David Hacin and David Tabenken led a walking architectural tour with @codesigncollab around our neighborhood, starting in @sowaboston and visiting quintessential spots such as Union Park, Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the 46 Waltham Courtyard, @inkblockboston , and Tremont Street before culminating at the ever-impressive @boscenterforarts Cyclorama. Our firm has been located in the South End for thirty years and many of our projects, from Laconia Lofts to @blacklambbos , can be found just a short distance from our studio.
If you’re still working through your holiday shopping list, we recommend supporting small businesses in this neighborhood- there are many incredible ones to choose from!
Now the real work begins 🧠
One participant summed it up perfectly:
“𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩.”
Participants of the Inspirational Leadership Masterclass walked away with a leadership exercise tailored just for them, which they'll use at work for the next two weeks to grow in one of the five areas of inspirational leadership:
𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡 🧭
Leadership is about what you do, not where you are.
That’s the shift. That’s the work.
➡️ To everyone who joined: I can’t wait to hear what unfolds.
➡️ And for those following along: more masterclasses coming in 2026.
Shout out to @codesigncollab for your partnership, @pagethink for the beautiful space and delicious eats, & @bookman_creative for capturing the spirit of the work so beautifully in photos. @aidanborer and @lianahelmsley you are my people!
Stay tuned!
💜

Headed into Boston today for the Inspirational Leadership Masterclass with @codesigncollab & @pagethink 💥
I can’t wait to create a space for this group of leaders to pause and
to take a breath in the middle of all the noise, chaos, and change.
So many leaders I know care deeply about doing right by their teams.
They’re thoughtful. Intentional. But also completely overwhelmed by the pace of their organizations, the constant shifts in technology, and the pressure to always be “on.”
🧭This Masterclass is about remembering what you love about leading and finding small, practical ways to lead with more clarity, energy, and purpose again.
Because leadership shouldn’t just be effective.
It should be nourishing. 💜
