I’m Mindy Chapman, a designer and preservationist who believes that spaces tell stories — and that those stories shape how people live, learn, and connect.

My background blends historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and interior architecture, allowing me to merge creativity with technical precision. I bring hands-on experience with Section 106 compliance, HABS documentation, and preservation grant development, ensuring that each project meets regulatory standards while remaining visionary and people-centered.

Before founding Chapman Historic Design, I was a public historian and humanities teacher, experiences that continue to shape my collaborative and educational approach. Today, my work is grounded in the belief that design can heal communities by honoring their past and empowering their present.
