Episode 3
We sit down with Iris Yan, currently a product manager at Brilliant Technologies, a smart home IoT startup. After earning a bachelor's in Product Design from Stanford University, she started her own consumer packing goods startup (from her dorm room!) and then went on to work at Apple for 3 years. In this episode, she gives us the inside scoop of life at one of the largest and most impressive tech companies in the world. We ask her what it’s like designing in a big firm and how you even get there. We also go back to what Iris was like in college, making a major pivot from policy and opera to design and technology. Through her curious and exploratory nature, Iris has designed a life she loves that is truly her own.
