Meet Carla Iris: The Visionary Behind Iris Designs
She/Her | Creative Geek | Owner/Founder of Iris Designs
Carla Iris is a creative genius whose talents span music, poetry, artistry, and design. She is not just an artist; she is a visionary who constantly seeks new ideas and perspectives. Her journey is one of exploration and growth, hence her passion for traveling. Carla's creativity is matched only by her dedication to her community. She believes in the power of connection and uses her talents to bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. For Carla, community is everything. Her heart is full when she invests in those around her, drawing inspiration from their dreams and aspirations. This philosophy is rooted in her embrace of Ubuntu, an ancient African concept meaning "humanity to others." This belief reminds us that "I am what I am because of who we all are," and it drives Carla to uplift others in their journeys as she has been uplifted.
Carla doesn't just create; she collaborates, combining her artistic flair with the feedback and dreams of her clients. This collaborative approach has given birth to Iris Designs, a brand that embodies beauty, innovation, and inclusivity.

Carla's commitment to supporting others is unwavering. She is devoted to helping businesses and professionals grow, particularly within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. Her own experiences have shaped her understanding of the importance of feeling safe, heard, and trusted in business relationships. This empathy and dedication have made her a sought-after partner for those who share her values.
Her work has been recognized in several publications and articles, including Canvas Rebel, Five After Five, Midwest Mujeres, Black Owned Association, The Voyage Austin, Black Therapist Network, BiZ TV, and the Innovation Black Chamber of Commerce.

Interviewing Carla was an absolute joy.
Midwest Mujeres
Our conversation flowed effortlessly, like friends catching up, as we bonded over our shared passion for Midwest Mujeres and our community. Carla captured the essence of our mission perfectly when she said:
“Araceli wants to see people grow, she wants to see people win, she wants people’s stories to be told… and I think Midwest Mujeres is going to be something that catches a beat. We are going to grow and inspire many other communities. This is a big group, we have big ideas.”
I wholeheartedly echo her sentiments. Mi gente, we are expanding and growing every day, and it’s all thanks to incredible members like you who are part of this vision. Together, we are closing the gender wage gap, creating economic opportunities, and forging our destinies. We recognize the immense value in our stories and talents and must have the courage to be compensated fairly for our incredible contributions.
Thank you for being a part of Midwest Mujeres and for supporting this journey toward equity, empowerment, and unity. As we continue to grow, grow with us, and trust that we are here to support you in your own journey.
