Renee is a product designer with over four years of experience creating inclusive, intuitive digital products that serve diverse communities. She brings a well-rounded skillset grounded in accessibility, user-centered thinking, and a commitment to culturally responsive design—delivering meaningful experiences across both community-led and large-scale digital platforms.
My strength lies in designing with empathy — shaping digital solutions that honour user backgrounds, improve access, and reflect the people they’re made for. I bring deep knowledge of accessibility standards, bi-cultural design, and collaborative design processes that put people first. My work spans project management, design strategy, design systems, research synthesis, and visual storytelling.
Now based in Melbourne, I’m focused on product design roles that value inclusive design, systems thinking, and real-world impact. Whether I’m building prototypes, guiding tone of voice, or working with developers to polish the final details — I care deeply about delivering elegant, usable, and empowering experiences.
