I design with people— not just for them
I'm Renn Scott—an inventor, designer, educator and innovation strategist working at the intersection of human-centred design, technology, intellectual property and entrepreneurship.
I'm named as an inventor on more than 200 granted U.S. patents. My experience spans invention and IP at BlackBerry, women's health and FemTech innovation, smart textiles, connected technologies and medical-device usability.
Today, I work with founders, businesses and innovation teams to explore opportunities, develop products, strengthen IP strategies and build innovation capabilities through research, design, coaching and education.
Designing for Meaningful Impact
I believe the best innovations begin with understanding people—their experiences, challenges and unmet needs.
I'm particularly passionate about FemTech and women's health innovation, where inclusive research, thoughtful design and intellectual property can help address needs that have too often been overlooked.
My approach is grounded in human-centred research, inclusive design and collaboration, connecting diverse perspectives to create solutions that are useful, accessible and meaningful.
Creating What's Next
Alongside my work with founders, businesses and innovation teams, I'm developing original products and exploring new ways to extend the reach of my human-centred design methods and tools.
I'm always interested in opportunities to collaborate, explore new ideas and create innovations that make a difference.
Empathy is earned.
Meaningful insights begin with listening, observing and understanding people.
