Born and raised in Taiwan, Ya-Chu Yang (Iris) has traveled to many different places to widen her knowledge and experience in order to better herself in her artworks.

After high school, Iris studied Video Game Design at the Tokyo Designer Gakuin College, and also worked for a few months at DigiPark Inc as a video game designer before the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami occurred, at which Iris moved back to Taiwan upon the request of her parents and then came to the United States to pursue a degree in fashion design.

Currently, Iris is attending the Columbus College of Arts and Design pursuing a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Fashion Design. Her dream is to design clothes and accessories that can allow all women to feel more beautiful.

In the summer of 2016, Iris worked at if&n, who are based in Taipei, Taiwan, as a Fashion Designer Intern.
