I took my first footsteps in the apparel industry when entering the sewing line where I would finish my apprenticeship as a dressmaker. Since then I am forever curious about making garments.

Over the time I have specialized in concept management, design + product development, and project management with a keen focus on sustainability and innovation for industry leading clients.

I like to think of myself as a shapeshifter when it comes to the various disciplines in the apparel industry.

Understanding the power of my duality, I playfully oscillate between zooming in to see the details and zooming out to see beyond, broadening my view.

  • "Free spirits such as Iris are needed on the landscape of sportswear. Speculating about the future is not an easy task, but talking to her makes one believe that positive changes in the apparel industry are possible. She offers not just a direct answer but also goes few steps further and gives a holistic vision. Iris doesn’t hesitate to call a spade a spade and thus offers plenty of room for friction."
