Designing With People — So It Actually Matters

I’m Renn Scott — a design leader, practitioner, and thought partner. I help teams and creators build the kind of inclusive, human-centered solutions people don't just use — they believe in.

Inclusive Design Toolkit
A toolkit for people who want to build better

Designed from lived experiences, co-creation, and real-world testing — this evolving resource helps teams design with empathy, intention, and impact.

    • Core inclusive design principles that change how you build

    • Hands-on worksheets and canvases

    • Real-world use cases across digital, physical, and hybrid spaces

    • Stories from community partners — because inclusion is lived, not theorized

My Design Approach
Inclusive design isn’t a checkbox. It’s how we build what’s real.

My human-centered process is grounded in insight, built on co-creation, and refined through feedback — so what you make doesn’t just function, it connects.

Make Together

→ Co-Create + Prototype

Ideate with your users.
Build to learn.

Understand

→ Discover + Listen

Frame the right problem.
Gather real user insight.

Learn & Improve

→ Validate + Design Forward

Test what works.
Evolve with feedback.
