Hi, I'm Kevin Chapman.

Hi, I'm Kevin Chapman.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with more than 15 years of experience turning complexity into clarity across fintech, Web3, SaaS, and enterprise tools. I move quickly by sketching, prototyping, and iterating with purpose, always guided by empathy, data, and a belief that design should make users feel understood.

I regularly use tools like OpenAI, Cursor, and V0 to prototype faster, test smarter, and scale without friction. The result is sharper products and measurable business outcomes, all while staying grounded in human-centered creativity.

How I Think About Product Design:

How I Think About Product Design:

• Build trust first, features second
• Listen harder than you pitch
• Sweat the details, but don't let perfect get in the way of launching real impact
• Measure business impact at every step

My mission is to ship products people can’t stop talking about, intuitive, effective solutions that are built to last.
