Alex Koplin

Alex is an interactive designer and creative entrepreneur hailing from Philadelphia, who currently resides in Brooklyn. Most recently, Alex worked around the corner at Purpose, a movement accelerator, where he crafted user experiences for websites, campaigns and mobile applications that had significant positive impact on a wide variety of hot-button issues. His aptitude for visual design and typography has led to a unique aesthetic in much of his UX design work, drawing on his ongoing fascination with mid-century modernism. His experience in the fast-paced agency space has led to an approach to teaching that is grounded in real-world problem solving, learning how to ask the right questions, and fostering the skills to get off the ground quickly. In his spare time, Alex is co-founder of a social enterprise called K&P Partners, as well as a designer for electronic record label Moodgadget. He holds an MFA in Design & Technology from Parsons and enjoys cooking extravagantly for friends, digging deep for new music, and exploring the great outdoors.
