Kelly Smith

I'm the co-founder of Curious Office and lead design, company incubating and all investments. Also the designer/founder of three venture backed start-ups. Currently the CEO/product designer of Zapd, an Apple App of the Week. Previously, founded Inkd, the first marketplace for buying and selling professional graphic design templates & Imagekind, the first online venue to buy, sell or create original art prints. Imagekind was sold to CafePress. Also, I sold a company called RocketVox to thePlatform (a Comcast company) and spent several years at RealNetworks and other pioneering companies in the digital video space. I started out at Spry, the first commercial version of a web browser in 1994 based on the original Mosaic source code. Occassionally, I'll talk at conferences like the AIGA about UX, UI and building stuff. Feel free to send me an email or reach me via Twitter.
