about

Here's hoping you're having a great day!

🙏


 Hi! I'm a silly forest pond creature person and Art Director living in Spain, particularly interested in appreciating life, adventure, nature, and visual storytelling. I really enjoy designing simple and appealing shapes, colour and light to express those interests, with a whimsical playful flavour.

feel free to contact me at: iris.apos@gmail.com

I have enjoyed being a freelance Visual Development/Concept/Colourkey artist for about a decade and have had the blessed opportunity to work with delightful clients on creative ideas. I look forward to future fun endeavours; it means a lot to me to help share wholesome messages in unique uplifting ways, with emotional depth.


I strongly believe that good communication and people skills are the foundational pillars of all collaborative projects and I enjoy embodying good values and practices in treating others and myself well, convinced we all deserve to lead a good lighthearted life full of curiosity and laughter. 

I've always thought of the art community as a well of inspiring creatives and friends we've yet to meet. My favourite part of being a professional in this industry is connecting with fellow human beans :D hehe, and helping ideas take shape. We're blessed to get to create together.

😌

I really enjoy public speaking and educational content that is easily digestible and fun. It's something I'm trying to become good at, with the goal of embodying some kind of artist + amateur comedian hybrid creature hehe. So in that regard, here is one of my proudest attempts to summarize much of the visual intuitions/insight I've gathered over time:


I'm eternally grateful to have been invited to take part in events in person and online. I feel deeply lucky to get to learn, share, and laugh with colleagues and like minded folks.

One of my favourite recent memories was getting to playfully educate about VR/3D basics at Lightbox. My aim is to show everyone that they have what it takes to have fun and make great art.
