curtis renkiewicz

I design products to immerse people in stories, reduce friction in their lives, and provide joyful, memorable experiences.

I’m a Senior Product Designer ⌘ from Chicago with eight years of experience, with passion for strategic thinking, customer-centricity, and influencing decisions.

I'm enchanted by all facets of design, from the beauty of well-executed UI to the majestic intricacy of old-world architecture. Since I was young I was enveloped by creativity from my mom’s antique furniture upscaling to my own ventures online in the gaming world.

Nowadays my fascinations as a kid inspire my approach for designing software. Functional but joyful with elegantly crafted UI. Fascinations.
