Cooper is a user experience design and strategy consulting firm headquartered in San Francisco with an office in New York. Cooper is credited[by whom?] with inventing several widely used design concepts, including goal-directed design, personas, and pair design.
History[edit]
Cooper was founded by Sue Cooper and Alan Cooper in 1992 in Menlo Park, CA, under the name “Cooper Software,” then changing the name to "Cooper Interaction Design" in 1997. Cooper was the first consulting firm dedicated solely to interaction design[according to whom?]. Its original clients were mainly Silicon Valley software and computer hardware companies.[1][2]
The company uses a human-centered methodology called “goal-directed design” that emphasizes the importance of understanding the user’s desired end-state and their motivations for getting there.[3][4]
In 2002, Cooper began offering training classes to the public including topic as interaction design, service design, visual design, and design leadership.[5][6]
