About me

My name is Wen-Hui Kerry Kao, a 2nd year Human-Computer Interaction graduate student studying in the School of Information at the University of Michigan.

Previously, I participated in an information visualization design project called TabViz in the hope of helping people visualize their browser tabs better when they opened too many. A Firefox extension was developed and my team won the Mozilla Labs Summer 2009 Design Challenge for the distinction of Best in Class: Innovation.

I love sketching and I am enthusiastic in the area of interface & interaction design, UX design, and graphic design, where I can vent out all my innovative design ideas!
