For 15 years, Cooper has been designing successful digital products by focusing on human goals. We’ve designed our company the same way.
We hire stars, then make sure they’re set up for success. We plan our projects for a 40-hour work week. We don’t think chaos is a necessary ingredient for creativity. We believe in coaching, clear career paths, and a workplace that’s as much a community as it is a company.
We work with clients large and small all over the world. Our projects include everything from complex financial, analytical and enterprise applications to medical devices, Web sites and car dashboards. In a single year, a Cooper designer might work on a securities trading application, an assisted surgery tool, and a revolutionary new phone.
Every project involves a small team of world-class designers, most of whom are dedicated to single project at a time. An interaction designer is responsible for the visualization and coherence of the product’s behavior, while a design communicator is responsible for documenting the design and for helping test and evolve the design concept through scenarios. At the same time, a visual designer ensures that the color, icons, typography, and visual style of the interface support the interaction and the client’s brand. We have no industrial design openings at this time, though industrial designers with interaction design experience are welcome. On projects involving hardware, an industrial designer leads the evolution of the physical form, working closely with other team members to ensure a seamless user experience. We are currently looking for the right Director of Industrial Design, though we don’t have any openings for staff industrial designers at this time.
Each of our teams and clients is supported by an engagement lead—a senior designer who worked with the client to plan the project. Behind the scenes, our professional HR and Operations team ensures that our teams have the tools, environment, and support they need to pull off one superb project after another.
We’re building our company to last, and we’re looking for people who will last. If you want to work in a place with a sense of purpose (and a sense of proportion), check out our current openings:
