about

Iris Valera is on a quest to find the missing piece: Her life purpose. 

​

She dreamed of becoming an Emergency Medicine doctor when she was a child, but somehow, life sent her in a different direction, so she ended up being a journalist. Now, becoming a fiction author is her idea of retirement when she finally turns 50. 

 

Music, writing, designing (interior design, graphic design, website design),  and video editing are only three of her many passions in life. You'd be surprised to know she cooks chicken adobo and sinigang na hipon perfectly, and she loves going to the beach during summer.

​

Iris gets bored easily. It is hardly noticeable but she likes being around people. She hates doing routines. Craving for variety sends her to start a lot of projects all at the same time sometimes. When an idea pops up, she never lets the chance slip away. She takes on challenges as opportunities to grow. But just like any normal human being, Iris can become an emotional wreck when she is dealing with life's challenges. Spending time alone on the beach just listening to the sound of waves crashing at her feet is her antidote to this.

​

Storytelling can be her expertise and she wants to share her rich imagination to the world by creating fiction and documenting her life journey through music, songwriting, photography, writing and filmmaking.
