Barry Lachapelle designs and engineers early-stage products.

I've been making things for screens since the late 90s, across video games, advertising, design consulting and tech, at places like IDEO in Tokyo, Nike's Innovation Lab and Hatch.

Through BFH Labs, I build my own products: Bike Gear Database, for people who ride the dirt; cDox, a Google Docs alternative hosted in Canada with no AI training; and Ply, for designing Instagram carousel posts on one continuous canvas.

Currently, in my day job, I'm Head of Design at Digital Green, working on FarmerChat, an AI assistant that gets 2.2 million smallholder farmers across India, Africa and South America answers in seconds.
