Scott Ageloff
Inspired by frequent trips to nearby Newport and New York City to visit family, Scott’s appreciation of art, architecture and design began at an early age. Scott captured his constant observations of natural and built environments by drawing, and gravitated to a career in architecture. Following graduate studies in architecture at Yale University and extensive travels, including a year working in Asia, Scott settled in New York with its rich culture and prominence as a creative center for art and design.
After a decade of practice, Scott established Ageloff & Associates, which evolved into Ageloff Design Group. Forty years later, he has become a leader in interior design education and in the integration of design and architecture. He claims that his greatest gift is when a client expresses sincere appreciation for the impact that he and the Ageloff Design Group team have made on their lives.

Erin Wells
A love of dance, history, culture, and art proved to be the perfect mix to propel Erin into a design career. Much of her explorations in these fields have involved travel. From historical symbolism in design motifs to discovering unique art by indigenous peoples, Erin enjoys travel as a tactile and sensory experience. Nature also inspires Erin. She splits her time between New York and Shelter Island, where she volunteers at the Mashomack Nature Preserve, enjoying nature and birdwatching.
Erin joined Ageloff Design Group in 2002. Collaboration, both with fellow team members and clients, is Erin’s favorite part of the design process. She believes that good design connects creativity with functionality and that bringing multiple points of view to a project ensures that both are achieved.

Reid Betz
Working with clients to transform their lives for the better is just one exciting aspect of architecture and design for Reid. He joined Ageloff Design Group in 2003 with degrees in architecture and civil engineering and contributes a passion for design excellence, craft and technical knowledge to develop buildable solutions. Reid is an avid kayaker and often turns to the water for inspiration. From the vantage point of New York’s waterways, he appreciates the balance between built and natural environments, indoor spaces and the open air, and the need for calm oases amidst the city’s creative bustle.
Reid has been a LEED Accredited Professional since 2001 and works to incorporate the responsible use of energy and resources into project designs. As a part-time professor and student mentor, Reid enjoys guiding the next generation of designers on design and sustainability.
