IABD is a multidisciplinary design firm.
We believe in the collaborative nature of the design process, and to that end we build strong relationships with our clients and our dedicated circle of illustrators, photographers, writers, web developers, and printers / manufacturers. We share and support our clients values and aspirations. Clients include some of New York’s most vital non-profit cultural organizations, educational institutions, wine importers, publishers, film makers, textile manufacturers and many others.
Design informs all aspects of Iris’ life. She is passionate about art, literature, theater, and in particular gardening—sharing and cooking what she harvests. She’s endlessly inspired by New York City where she resides, and NY’s Catskill Mountains where she also has a home. She lives with her husband and son.
