Iris Hsu One Community Collaborator

Industrial Designer: Iris earned her BFA in Industrial Design from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. During her time there she developed an effective design thinking process through observing people in their daily life and focusing on user-friendly designs and practices. Iris believes that a good design should be emotionally expressive as well as functional, building a connection between people and the things they use. Her focus is on designing products that benefit our living environment in a sustainable way and through inventive and playful features. In Iris’ words, “Design is like making a gift for someone, and having love and empathy to the surroundings with effective solutions.” As a One Community Industrial Designer, Iris has been the design lead for the open source pipe chair/table and couch designs, cost analysis research, and assembly instructions.
