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.
Some snippets about me:
☂️ Born and raised in rainy Vancouver, Canada
🎹 Trained in the classical flute and jazz piano
🎮 Voiced characters in a professional German video game
🗺️ Accidentally got lost in Ottawa and walked to Quebec
