Kenneth Graupner

Serial entrepreneur. Brand-led founder. Multi-award-winning creative. Builder of meaningful products powered by instinct, execution and an ongoing obsession with what's next.

I've launched companies, scaled teams, shaped brands, and built things with impact – driven more by momentum than by conditions. I combine creative direction with systems thinking and use AI and automation for rapid prototyping, to launch fast and build smart.

What drives me? Ideas that innovate. Products that move things forward - and the people and teams who make them real.

The method is fluid. The mindset isn't: Build boldly. Design with intent. Leave something better behind.

If you made it this far, thank you.

And hey, if you're into building things, sharing ideas, or just geeking out over new tools or beautiful craft, I'm always up for a chat.
