Kinopio
( ゜ρ゜)ノ
Hi,
My name is Pirijan (Piri for short), I’m a designer and engineer making software tools to help you with your thorniest thoughts and problems.
I went to school for Biology and Urban Planning, I co-created Glitch at the company formerly known as Fog Creek Software in NYC, and now I make the thinking tool Kinopio.
