History
Renstivon Interview Storytelling began as a small workshop series in Toronto, helping local creators move from note-taking to structured, ethical interviews. By 2020, we expanded online, building a rigorous framework that blends reporting standards with UX research discipline. Today, we support universities, startups, and public institutions across Canada.
