    Profile

    Binna Lee is a designer, researcher, and educator whose work bridges interaction design, psychology, philosophy, and immersive media. Her creative practice investigates how human perception, cognition, and emotion are shaped within digital and spatial environments. As Creative Director of Team Echo, she led immersive installations on power and media ecologies, exhibited at NYC Resistor and Sojourn Gallery, and recognized by Women United ART Magazine, the Red Dot Design Award shortlist, and NYC Media Lab.

    Her design manifesto, Positive Design, embodies a commitment to creating responsible and meaningful interactions. Binna scrutinizes belief systems, societal contexts, cognitive processes, and cultural influences, recognizing their subtle yet profound impact on human thoughts and actions. She aims to empower individuals and nurture community growth through thoughtful XR and experiential designs, interactive projection mapping, and artistic product design.
