Growing up, I spent much of my time working with student organizations, nonprofits, and small businesses. Through volunteering for U.S. nonprofits on Catchafire and helping a Philippine orphanage, I saw how often meaningful organizations were limited not by the quality of their ideas, but by the time, people, and creative resources available to them.
Large companies can rely on dedicated marketing teams. A student club, charity, family business, or solo founder often cannot. Yet their messages can matter just as much.
I created Renard to help close that gap. Renard is designed to be the first AI platform that truly fits into the design workflow people already use: turning a brief into multiple editable concepts that can be exported and continued in Canva, Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, and other tools. Rather than asking teams to abandon how they work, Renard is built to meet them there.
Small teams—and even teams of one—should be able to compete with much larger organizations.
That efficiency is central to our mission. By giving people stronger starting points, three directions to explore, and real files they can keep refining, Renard can help a small team work with the creative capacity of a much larger one. That is what democratizing design means to me: not replacing human creativity, but making the ability to express an idea far more accessible.
Renard means “fox” in French. To us, the fox represents resourcefulness, creativity, and finding clever ways to achieve more.
