Cooper Carry Since 1960, Cooper Carry has believed that great design happens through connection. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together people, place, process, and performance to create environments that are meaningful, enduring, and greater than the sum of their parts. Inspired by our founder, Jerry Cooper, we approach every project with curiosity, listening first and asking the right questions to understand our clients, their goals, and the communities they serve. By connecting the right expertise and perspectives, we create thoughtful solutions that strengthen communities, enrich experiences, and bring our clients’ visions to life.
Connection by Design.
One ecosystem. Many perspectives. Greater possibilities.
Mixed-Use Ecosystem We don’t work in silos. Cooper Carry’s mixed-use ecosystem brings together specialized studios and design services within one integrated practice. Our teams can draw on expertise across the firm, connecting the right people and disciplines at the right time to meet each project’s unique needs. This approach is especially powerful as traditional boundaries between building types continue to blur. Hospitality influences residential. Workplace informs mixed-use. Branding and experiential design shape how people understand and navigate place. Planning connects individual buildings to neighborhoods and communities. Rather than applying a singular design style, we begin by listening. We seek to understand our client’s vision, the market, the context, and the people who will ultimately experience the place. The result is design shaped specifically for its purpose and strengthened by the perspectives that come together to create it.
Experiential Graphic Design We seek out stories that evoke emotions in people. These stories and our ability to convey the narrative create memorable experiences that set our clients’ brands apart. Our graphic design services, combined with your stories, create high-quality user experiences that expand your brand beyond print and digital platforms into the built environment. We go beyond typical graphic services, providing expertise with signage, wayfinding, placemaking, interactive design, museum design, programming, and art integration that resonates with your audience on a personal level. The Experiential Graphic Design Studio at Cooper Carry provides services focused on the unique needs of higher education, office, hospitality, retail, restaurant, civic/cultural institutions, sports and entertainment venues and is delivered by experienced professionals trained in graphic design, industrial design, interior design, architecture, and exhibit design. Our team’s diverse backgrounds allow us to communicate and collaborate effectively across various disciplines within the firm, seamlessly incorporating graphic design into physical spaces. The result is a more immersive, performance-driven outcome for our clients.
What is Experiential Graphic Design? Branded Environments
Integrating graphic design within physical spaces, we create a sense of place through signage, wayfinding, and art, all carefully coordinated with a unifying narrative.
Storytelling
We design dynamic content that promotes rich interactions between users and information.
Wayfinding Systems
We help people find their way through physical spaces with thoughtfully designed and choreographed signage programs.
ADA Standards for Accessible Design
We create directional and identification signage items that are functional, legible, and accessible for all users while reflecting your project’s brand.
