Introducing RENN SCOTT
As a product design leader with a rich background from the Royal College of Art, I’ve earned over 200 patents and made transformative contributions across various tech interfaces. At Daily Goods Design Labs, I lead the creation of human-centered designs, particularly focusing on women’s health and technology. My expertise in UX leadership and patent management fosters collaboration across teams, resulting in innovative user experiences.
I guide designers to achieve their full potential, nurturing leadership and innovation. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to establish a design firm committed to inclusive design, managing projects from conception to market, and enhancing strategic program development.
Honoured with numerous design and technology awards, I’m dedicated to crafting an inclusive future and nurturing the upcoming generation of leaders.
