Hi there! My name is Destanee Charrois, and I am passionate about people having a great experience.

I am an aspiring product manager who has always been driven by the desire to make work and life better for people. My background in HR gave me a strong foundation in understanding how people experience systems — whether that’s a hiring process, a company culture, or a workplace tool. It also gave me the opportunity to foster my superpower of building relationships across teams, which is critical for a product manager.

In product management, I see an opportunity to still be people-focused, and be part of designing a wider variety of solutions. What excites me about an agile product development mindset is that it allows you to drive change in a way that’s proactive, iterative, and deeply user-centered. You’re not just improving processes — you’re building experiences that shape how people interact with technology and each other. This is the kind of impact I want to have.

Portfolio & Services.

The portfolio of my start in product management is here, and I offer services that allow me to create great experiences:

Whether it’s in recruitment, where it’s crucial to create a top candidate experience while meeting the needs of the business who’s searching for top talent;

or through DEI coaching, which creates more opportunities for individuals of any background to be themselves and pursue their dreams;

or through UX Design, where the user is at the forefront of designing a product to ensure a seamless experience for anyone who could use it.

In addition to creating a great experience, what connects all three of these pillars is an inherent consideration of various people’s experiences. In other words, DEI is a crucial underlying mindset to make sure that as many perspectives as possible are considered throughout a recruitment process so that top talent isn’t turned away, and that a product doesn’t create a difficult experience for any user.

Why Me?

I’m the best person to turn to for these needs because:

  • I have over 5 years of experience in talent acquisition, HR strategy, and stakeholder engagement

  • I have successfully led hiring programs across industries, improving processes and driving meaningful connections with both internal stakeholders, and between talent and opportunity

  • I’ve seen HR practices that work well, and ones to avoid

  • I’m from a diverse background myself as a neurodivergent woman of mixed ethnicity (Guyanese, French and Polish)

  • I grew up seeing people of different colours in the same household, and I want to live in a world where factors like this don’t get in the way of someone’s livelihood and passions

  • I have completed SAIT and Tacit Edge’s Applied Product Management course, and Google’s UX Design Certificate

  • My UX knowledge can facilitate some interesting crossover, such as updating a website page that shows a company’s recruitment process and values
