Our Team.
Lo/Be Lab is powered by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, students, and collaborators committed to advancing reflective learning and identity development. Our members bring expertise from diverse fields—including education, psychology, cognitive science, and design—along with a shared dedication to learner-centered research and innovation.
Rooted in a participatory ethos, our team integrates multiple perspectives, research methodologies, and cultural backgrounds to co-create tools and frameworks that are both theoretically grounded and practically impactful. Undergraduate and graduate researchers work closely with faculty and practitioners through iterative design cycles, qualitative inquiry, and collaborative reflection.
Together, we foster a lab culture that values curiosity, equity, and experimentation. By modeling the reflective practices we advocate, our team not only contributes to the research landscape but also supports a broader mission of empowering learners to navigate their journeys with confidence, intention, and clarity.
Seth Looper is a designer, educator, and researcher whose work explores the intersection of identity development, reflective learning, and design-based methodologies. With a background spanning architecture, cognitive science, and education, he founded Lo/Be Lab to investigate how visual tools and narrative frameworks can support learners in navigating complexity and constructing intentional life paths. Seth currently leads interdisciplinary research initiatives focused on visual cognition, decision-making, and learner-centered design.
