About Renee — UX-Focused Designer

For over a decade, I’ve helped businesses bring their ideas to life through design, branding, and digital strategy. What began as a passion for visual creativity has evolved into a deeper commitment to solving real problems — creating experiences that are clear, intuitive, and meaningful for the people who use them.

Today, my work lives at the intersection of UX design, visual storytelling, and business strategy.

I don’t just design how things look — I design how they work.

From Designer to UX Thinker
Working closely with small businesses and growing brands taught me something early on:
beautiful design means nothing if users feel confused, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next.

Over time, I naturally shifted from focusing solely on visuals to shaping the full experience:

  • simplifying navigation
  • clarifying messaging
  • reducing friction
  • improving accessibility
  • guiding users toward meaningful actions

That evolution led me into UX — not through theory alone, but through real-world practice, where every design decision impacts real people and real outcomes.

My UX Design Approach
My process blends creativity with structure and empathy:

I design with intention — not assumption.

I focus on:

  • User-centered thinking — designing from the user’s perspective, not just the business’s
  • Information architecture — organizing content so people can find what they need quickly
  • Conversion-focused layouts — guiding users naturally toward action
  • Accessibility and clarity — creating inclusive, readable, easy-to-use experiences
  • Business alignment — ensuring design supports measurable goals, not just aesthetics

Every project is shaped by observation, collaboration, and iteration — learning what works, refining what doesn’t, and always improving the experience.

Real Experience, Real Impact
I’ve partnered with small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs across industries — from retail and service providers to community-focused organizations — helping them:

  • reduce customer confusion
  • strengthen brand clarity
  • improve lead quality
  • stand out in competitive markets
  • build trust through thoughtful design

Whether it’s a UX-focused website redesign, a new digital experience, or a full brand refresh, my goal is always the same:
to create experiences that serve both users and businesses — beautifully and effectively.

Where I’m Headed
As I continue growing in the UX space, I’m focused on roles where I can:

  • collaborate with product teams
  • contribute to research-driven design decisions
  • and help shape digital experiences that truly make a difference

If you’re a recruiter, hiring manager, or design leader looking for a UX designer who brings both creative depth and real-world business experience — I’d love to connect.
