Summary
Layne Lafrance is a product development specialist and co-creator of CryptoKitties with a decade of experience translating visionary ideas into consumer-facing blockchain products. She helped design Flow, a public blockchain optimized for rich creator-led ecosystems, and has led multidisciplinary teams at Dapper Labs to turn open-world concepts into shipped products. Based in Calgary, she now advises and runs workshops to help startups and teams define product strategy, build goal-driven roadmaps, and solve user-centered problems. Known for blending product rigor with hands-on operational improvements (including tools that saved teams thousands of hours), she pairs entrepreneurial curiosity with practical delivery. Quietly, she’s equally comfortable navigating hardware launches and international go-to-market efforts as she is shaping developer-facing infrastructure for the next wave of digital ownership.
