You know joy and calm
are possible in your work.
You feel their absence when change is needed.
Whether you're a nonprofit, a business, or a co-op, organizational change requires effort and support. We provide the support you need as you birth something new within your organization.
Matthew Armstead, Founder
At Culture Work Studios, we design and lead processes to help you show up fully as you reflect, learn, and act.
With our tools and structures, you’ll address unspoken dynamics, reduce internal challenges, and feel empowered to lead without burnout.
We prioritize the idea of belonging to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion within justice-driven multiracial, BIPOC-led, and LGBTQ groups.
Belonging is when your emotions and environment affirm and support your presence. With belonging, your team acknowledge power differences, build bridges for trust, and share responsibility for change.
We support you through the labor of creating change.
“They brought a wealth of knowledge that we use with our congregation and people we engage with. Matthew was available to answer questions, give advice, and be a mentor. I highly recommend Matthew to work with any agency, organization, etc. to guide them through this process.”

“Thanks again for your thoughtfulness in tweaking the program based on peoples’ experiences. I want to share some comments from the cohort that stood out to me:
‘Matthew's live instruction was particularly valuable in its nurturing tone that encouraged everyone's participation. I liked how they created a safe space while constructively pushing us to dig deep and share examples.’”
