About Cassandra Lee
I’m curious I’m a designer and researcher currently at the MIT Media Lab studying how games and play can help us have better conversations. In a world increasingly defined by isolation, social stratification, and misinformation, I think it’s important we use our brain’s well-established ability to connect and feel, well, human. Thus I care about designing technology that is more than easy or convenient; but allows our brains, bodies, and relationships to flourish.Portfolio:
Experience
Research Designer
Mit Center For Constructive Communication
Oct 2024 — Present · Boston, MA, US
Designing digitally enhanced in-person experiences that help people talk to each other better. Building on research established in my Master\'s thesis, I work on the Translational Research Team to explore how technology can help enhance communication in real world contexts like citizen assemblies, university campuses, and community projects around Boston. With a focus on play, immersive experiences, and human-led facilitation, my work creatively addresses the growing issue around civic dialogue, and works to reduce polarization by creating safe places to speak from the heart.
