Jeff Kao is a Principal UX Designer at Riot Games at Riot Games. He possess expertise in user experience, user centered design, user interface, usability testing, heuristic evaluation and 17 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "The field of UI/UX has come a long way since we first started calling it Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and Jeff has been in the unique position of being in the field long enough to see all of its ups and downs. I believe it is because of his years in the field that makes him such an easygoing and upbeat person to work with. Game development can be chaotic in the best of times, and often UI/UX gets the short straw of the development cycle, constantly having to redo their work as features/systems change. Finding someone like Jeff, who remains calm, cool, and collected during times of stress, makes working with him such a joy. That doesn't mean he is a pushover or doesn't take things seriously. He knows his craft, learns about his audience, and figures out how to meet their needs. I would love to work with Jeff again, not just because he is so good at what he does but also because he is just so much fun to work with." and "Empathy for the user in spades! As a Lead Designer at Riot Games, Jeff’s day to day is creating immersive experiences for core gamers –and Jeff brings a passion for gaming and a quality of craft that elevates the product and levels us all up. Jeff has a real strength in creating a collaborative atmosphere for dialogue and learning. He shares himself easily and with humility that makes him a great lead and teammate. As a UX Recruiter at Riot, I worked closely with Jeff in screening applicants in a rigorous interview process. Jeff connects well with candidates and is thorough and diligent with his feedback. I really saw Jeff’s spark when we worked together representing Riot’s award-winning culture at industry conferences such as the IASummit and IXDA. This man can work a room! Bringing folks into the fold is something that comes naturally to Jeff: making connections, asking great questions –– his curious mind and infectious smile leave people wanting to know more. He’s funny as all heck and is someone you ought to know for sure!"
