Teresa Brazen is Design Education Strategist for Cooper. If you're unfamiliar with Cooper — we're thrilled you finally got rescued from that desert island!

In her role as Design Education Strategist, Teresa inspires curriculum, teaches, and builds community by pulling from her experience across a range of disciplines including film, design, and journalism. She's passionate about evangelizing and creating healthy, inspired culture within projects, teams, and organizations. The thoughtful design of these "environments" (both physical and figurative) results in work that is co-created, co-owned, creatively charged, and loved by more than just hipsters.

In addition to her work at Cooper, Teresa continues her pursuits as an artist. Through short films and artwork, she explores how people manage experiences like love, secrecy, and judgment. In her podcast series, she interviews people at the edges of industry and culture. Teresa is obsessed with uncovering what makes people tick (you have been warned!) and exposing our shared humanity... in service of fostering a bit more empathy in the world.
