Hey! I’m Cass.

How can STEAM learning be not only effective and enjoyable, but healing?

I am an artist, an experience designer, and a PhD student at NYU Steinhardt studying Educational Communication and Technology. My research interests are centered around the socioemotional experience of STEAM education. Right now, I’m investigating how the visual design of arts-based computing tools affects the representation of computing concepts and the expression of identity.

Before coming to NYU, I worked in various creative technology labs: the Future Interfaces Group and Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon, the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT Media Lab, and the Exploratory Design Group at Apple. I studied Interdisciplinary Art & Media Studies and HCI at Carnegie Mellon.
