Hi, I'm Coby Chapple . (he/him) Autodidact, systems thinker, product architect, pixel technician, full-stack algorithmagician, multi-media maker, cryptography geek, aspiring linguist, and generalist Designerd™ extraordinaire.
I’ve been building things for the web for nearly 20 years , and I get deep satisfaction from unblocking teams and individuals so they can grow, collaborate, and thrive . Wherever possible I try to take an integrative , holistic approach with a clear focus on rapid iteration, short feedback loops, transparent values, and high quality decision-making.
Having helped build GitHub (2012–2015) and Intercom (2017–2021), I’ve designed and shaped many core features of high-visibility products and high-traffic workflows, as well as growing and leading teams to do the same.
