Hi, I'm Matt Cooper, and I love shaping products through strategy.Whether its leading through product management or discovering the way forward through UX research, there is much beauty in my work. In fact, I believe that life is filled with beauty, including my fiancé and our three cats Sabrina, Knish and Go Go (pictured here, and yes, three cats in a Manhattan apartment...help!).
I don't believe in absolute perfection, but more 'perfect moments' along the way, fueled mostly by sarcasm and caffeine. Here are the ways I have seen beauty in my work:
If you're ready to experience beauty on your team, this could be a great match. I hope you enjoy poking around and discovering who I am, and my work. Matt Cooper |

Roots in Visual Design
I attended University of Hartford's Hartford Art School, where I loved every second there. It was there I learned the basics of visual design including visual hierarchy, color and contrast, composition. I loved working in the dark rooms on black and white photography.
