Hi, I'm Iris.
I was born barefoot, running wild and eating with my hands. Small, fierce, unworried.
Then I grew. And kept growing, all the way to almost six feet. They mocked the tall girl. I wore boys' shoes because nothing came in my size. It took me years to learn to stand tall anyway.
Then I got brave. Two years of French, and I went to study there and took every class taught in it. Machine learning caught my eye, so I taught myself, and it carried me to America. Three good years in finance, until I knew corporate life wasn't for me.
So I closed the ledger and followed the spark into a startup. New page, blank canvas, a lot more sunshine.
Still barefoot at heart.
