Bio

Kaho Abe is a game designer and media artist from NYC, currently based in Osaka, Japan, interested in improving social and personal experiences through the use of technology, fashion and games. She designs games and builds custom controllers with the hope to bring people together in new ways, face to face, in public spaces. Her work is a result of her lifelong interest in technology, her love of social games and her previous career as a fashion designer. Kaho also shares her practice by developing content and teaching Playable Fashion, an afterschool program for highschoolers, originally taught at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, and also Beyond the Joystick and Costumes as Game Controllers, both classes taught at the NYU Game Innovation Lab.
