Hello there! I'm Yuan Xiao, from China. I chose the English name Iris because the flower iris (鸢尾花) contains the character of my Chinese name (鸢). Additionally, I go by the nickname Birdy because my name also includes the character for bird (鸟).

My primary interest lies in computer graphics, where I find joy in blending art with technology. I pursued my bachelor's degree in Digital Media Technology at Zhejiang University and furthered my education with a Master's degree in the Computer Graphics and Game Technology program at the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, I am working as a graphics programmer at Naughty Dog. It feels like a dream come true, and I am eager to make meaningful contributions to the Graphics world. Isn't it an amazing field?
