About Me Image

Hello, I'm Torrie Real

I'm a mission-driven Product and UX Designer with a foundation in public health and project management, and a passion for building digital experiences that support people through real-life moments.

Before transitioning into design, I led programs expanding access to care and opportunity, including employer-sponsored family benefits, maternal health initiatives, social venture mentorship, and grant-funded care coordination. Today, I bring that same clarity and impact to UX and product design, creating responsive platforms across caregiver support, health and wellbeing, youth literacy, and environmental technology. I currently lead my own experience design company, Relform, partnering with clients on intuitive, purpose-driven products—and I’m always open to connecting with fellow creatives, especially around St. Louis.
