Hi, 

I’m Caini (Iris).



I approach life's phenomena through a multi-faceted lens, employing cross-disciplinary design thinking to redefine and intervene in a manner that is effective, insightful, and fun. My current interests are deeply rooted in the ever-changing relationships between objects and people in the context of the digital age. As AI continues to permeate various aspects of our lives, we can’t help but ask: How do humans perceive objects, and in turn, how do objects impact us?
