INTRO

I’m Renata, a Chicago-based product designer who partners closely with cross-functional teams to navigate ambiguity, drive business impact, and deliver solutions that scale across complex ecosystems.

I've designed products at startups and midsize companies across multiple stages of growth, blending design craft with product strategy. I enjoy aligning stakeholders, influencing roadmaps, and building scalable systems that support long-term business goals.

I built this site in Framer and regularly incorporate AI into my design workflow. Lately, that means using Claude Code with Figma MCP to quickly test ideas, prototype interactions, and iterate faster. I value experimenting with emerging tools while staying grounded in user needs and product strategy.
