Hi, my name is Travis Cooper and I’m a UX/UI designer based in Austin, Texas.  For my entire career I have been obsessed with finding innovative and novel solutions to complex problems. As an intellectual property paralegal focused on patents and industrial design, I helped Fortune 500 companies protect valuable intellectual property assets while also streamlining firm processes and policies. Being surrounded by so much innovation (patents) and commercial artistry (industrial design), married with the more analytical aspects of the law, inspired me endlessly and proved invaluable for my later transition into UX/UI design. 

In my personal life, I am a musician and songwriter who has performed locally and toured nationally with various bands. For me, combining creative expression with problem solving skills and helping others along the way brought me to UX/UI design.

I wanted to find a a way to passionately express my ideas while also helping others who may have been historically excluded from technological innovations. UX/UI design is an avenue to express new ideas while also finding new solutions to age old problems. After all, the first step in design is empathy. After establishing a foundation from skills learned at the DesignLab bootcamp, I began my design journey to find the most creative, accessible, and inclusive solutions that would also help the most people. And my journey continues…

Thank you for visiting me here.

Travis
