Iris Chiu (丘若杉) is a Chinese-American sound designer and composer, currently studying at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Drama. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she discovered early in her high school years that she retains a passionate love for the art of designing all things sonic in the theatrical world.
A storyteller of emotions first, Iris wields imaginative effects and original scores to give voice to the unseen layers of feelings and ideas behind any production. She often draws from personal experiences of being a queer person of color to fuse her work with unique perspectives and intensity.
Iris hopes to breathe life into stories on stage by building worlds with sound and curating emotion with music. She will chase the thrill of good collaboration for many, many years to come.
