Akil Cooper

I’m Akil, a Product Designer and Innovation Strategist currently based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in design and frontend engineering, particularly applied to emerging technology products.

I’m fueled by work that requires deep strategy and out-of-the-box thinking; helping teams understand what to build, how to make it beautiful, why it matters, and how it can scale. I’m especially motivated by leading and being apart of teams that are impact-focused, striving to use technology to positively impact communities around the world.
