Hello and welcome.
My name is Kaoru Murai.

I am a

My passion is forming meaningful connections through the experiences I create.

Hey ! This is Kaoru (kuh-roo, she/her/hers).

It is my belief that good technology cannot be borne without an emphasis in good design. I create software with the human experience at the top of my mind — I care a lot about the quality of my work, whether demonstrated through beautiful code or interactions that bring joy.

I love incorporating artistic elements to my work, rapid prototyping, and building from the ground up with a variety of tools.

I graduated from the University of Michigan, where I was a student in Computer Science and Art + Design.

Here are all the places I’ve been and the things I’ve created.

If you’d like to say hello, please reach me through my email at kaolugo@umich.edu

Thanks. And once again, welcome to my digital home.
