Hello future collaborators,
I have built brands in an agency and on my own, as support and as a lead. My formal titles have ranged from Visual Designer, Art Director, Director of Design to Brand Strategist. I’ve been a one-woman design team and have co-lead a department of 12 designers.
Regardless of title or team, my mission is the same. To work with people I can learn from and laugh with, who value purpose over profit. Today, I do that at Assembled.
If you’re up to something good, it’s likely I’d love to work with you.

I’m not great at self promotion, so I asked my coworkers to help me:
Renee is a problem-solver and a strategic thinker, who happens to implement solutions through brand design and expression. Renee has a deep understanding of what makes, builds, nurtures, and elevate brands, and what an organization must do to truly bring brand expression to life, and she'll be the first to tell you that most of it has nothing to do with visual design. She's the one on your team operating from first principles, getting to the "why" behind what you're doing, asking the questions you neglected to ask, and challenging assumptions — always in service of doing the best work possible. Indeed, Renee made the whole team better. She's a punk maestro of brand and design, and she'll be the catalyst that helps your brand to really start connect with the crowd.
- Bill Kramer VP of Marketing
I consider Renee to be that rare talent that everyone hopes to find. She brings tremendous skills, insights and talent to our team — along with a great personality, great sense of humor, and desire to make everything she touches better.
- John Zegowitz, Chief Creative Officer
What a talent you have!
- Tan France from Queer Eye. No joke. It’s on my Instagram fr.
Working with Renee was also a delight - she is a productive collaborator through the strategy and scoping process, a willing design iterator till we feel like our brand goals are accomplished, and confident in offering perspectives (and counterpoints) based on her expertise. Our design is better not only because of her creativity, but also with her partnership.
- Mohit Shewaramani, Director of Operations, Space Craft
Renee is a rare bird.

Who will understand my obscure 90’s rom com references when you’re gone?
