Kristin Cappuccio • INFJ-T • Product Designer

I design digital products that make complexity feel simple. I’ve led projects spanning design systems, financial platforms, commerce tools, and onboarding and billing journeys, always with a focus on creating scalable solutions that bring clarity and measurable impact. My approach combines user-centered research with systems thinking, ensuring every detail, from the smallest interaction to the broader platform experience, works together seamlessly.

Beyond fintech and SaaS, I’m fascinated by the future of crypto and AI and how design can unlock new possibilities for people everywhere.

I hold a Master of Information in User Experience Design from the University of Toronto, where I tackled real-world challenges and learned to thrive in both independent and cross-functional settings. I also earned an Honours BA in Communication and Media Studies from York University, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding human behavior and communication.

Before moving into product design, I worked in graphic design, but my passion for psychology, people watching, and human-centered design naturally drew me into UX, where I’ve found my true fit.
