Hi, I’m Renee.
I’m a UX and product design leader helping teams create digital products that are both human-centered and future-ready. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, research, and emerging technology—helping organizations align user insight with business ambition to create meaningful, measurable impact.

About me
I’ve spent almost 20 years in product UX, including 6+ years directing cross-functional teams across industries—from global brands, like Google and Nike, to public sector clients navigating digital transformation.
My experience spans in-house, agency, and consulting environments, where I’ve built scalable research and design systems, partnered with executives to shape strategy, and mentored high-performing teams through complex product ecosystems.
As a leader, I value creating room for people to contribute fully, challenge assumptions, and grow into their next role. I lead with empathy and clarity, grounding big ideas in evidence and collaboration. I build spaces where diverse perspectives thrive and curiosity drives innovation, because I believe the best products are born from healthy debate, psychological safety, and shared purpose.
Lately, my focus has extended into helping teams design responsibly with AI, bringing a human-centered lens to emerging technologies. I help organizations ask not only what’s possible, but what’s right, ensuring that new capabilities serve real human needs.
