A love for storytelling through design

I’m Iris👋🏻 like the song by the Goo Goo Dolls :)

I’m studying Cognitive Systems: Cognition and the Brain at the University of British Columbia, where I ground my education in cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction. With a background in film, I emphasise storytelling in my design process to create empathic user experiences that bring products to life.
