Profile
Hello, my name is

Howard Kao

and I'm an interaction designer, software developer, and entrepreneur.

I enjoy observing, investigating, understanding, designing, and creating.

I studied Computer Science at Stanford University, where I had the privilege of learning about design thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration at the the d.school (Hasso Plattner Institute of Design).

After college, I worked at Asurion Mobile Applications, splitting my time between software development and interaction design. In 2008, I left Asurion with two friends on an exciting but short-lived adventure to launch a startup that gave local, independent performers tools for self- and event-promotion. We ran out of cash.

At Inigral, I help make social software that facilitates community-building for post-secondary students. When I'm not talking to clients or designing new features, you'll often find enjoying my favorite pastime - finding and eating good food. I live and work in San Francisco, CA.
