ABOUT THE EPISODE
As founder, CEO, and tech lead of Illumix, an AR technology and media platform, Kirin Sinha is turning her company into a portal to the metaverse—connecting brands and consumers in the new world.
Started in 2017 to push boundaries and elevate the quality of augmented reality in the fields of fashion, game design and film, Illumix is currently beating some of the world’s most popular mobile games, and now she’s building the metaverse for Disney.
As one of Silicon Valley’s few minority female founders and CEOs with a technical background, Kirin and Illumix are redefining the landscape for AR technology. On this episode of WorkParty, we cover how Kirins love of dance and math influenced her career trajectory, how she built and maintains confidence, the boundaries of storytelling, and of course, the metaverse.
