About Xiaobi Pan : Xiaobi (Iris) Pan is a Silicon Valley-based designer, artist and technologist working at the intersection of art, technology and design. She experiments with emerging technologies such as XR, AI, and speculative design to create first-of-its-kind experiences and "beings" that bridge the digital world with the physical, and question how heavily technology and culture mediate our everyday existence. Ultimately, she hopes to contribute to a future where technology is being used as a force for connection and enlightenment.

She has been the inventor of the very first sound wave interactive installation visited by over 1 million participants, the app that promises to plant 100 million trees on our planet by 2025, and a series of industry-leading new technology products and experiences. Currently a Lead Designer at Amazon, she is dedicated to using technologies such as Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize the consumer experience for business and social good.

She has been a recipient of 20+ international design awards. She has been invited to present her work at top conferences (IEEE GEM, e.g.), universities (Harvard, Yale, Pratt, Northeastern, IIT, etc.), and companies (Apple Inc., e.g.). She has also been a jury member of 15+ global design awards.
