Tara Iwamoto

Tara Iwamoto is the founder of Vibe Coding Lab, a community that teaches women and underrepresented builders to make real things with AI, no coding experience required. At the last event, 30 women shipped working apps and the day scored 9.3 out of 10.

She brings 12 years of operations and creative leadership to the work. She has led delivery across four APAC markets at Google, run a content studio at POPSUGAR Studios that she scaled from 20 people to over 100, and held senior roles at WPP and oOh!Media.

Her interest in vibe coding sharpened when she noticed she was usually one of only two women in the room at these workshops. That made her mad enough to do something about it, and Vibe Coding Lab is what she built.
