Welcome to Culture by Design

built for humans...designed for growth

Culture by Design helps organizations intentionally design a culture that drives business strategy, magnetizes talent, and creates workplaces people are proud to be part of.

Culture never sits still. It evolves—sometimes in ways that block success. Every company has one. The question is: is it intentional or accidental?

When culture and strategy click, everything accelerates. People act with purpose. Decisions stick. Energy spreads. Strategy turns into action because everyone knows the “why.” Motivation rises. Obstacles spark creativity and resilience.

Companies pour billions into engagement surveys. But engagement is just a lagging signal—your culture already set the score. Stop chasing engagement. Design culture with clarity and intention, and engagement will follow.

Roseanne Lazarus de Romero

Chief Culture Architect & Founder

With over 25 years of leading transformational change in various organizations, representing more than 7 unique industries, I saw trends and common cultural pitfalls that every organization experienced. Throughout my career, I’ve seen companies proudly display their mission, vision, and values, yet the lived culture told a different story. Inconsistencies showed up everywhere: microcultures within the same company, behaviors at the top that didn’t align with stated values, and a reliance on expensive engagement surveys that only revealed problems after culture had already gone off track. Too often, culture gets handed to HR to “own,” but the truth is that culture belongs to every leader, and ultimately every employee. That’s why I created my company, Culture by Design and the Culture by Design Blueprint: a framework that equips leaders to become culture architects, building organizations that attract top talent, inspire pride, and drive extraordinary results.
