#131 Ranch stories with Alan Cooper (Part 2)
Alan Cooper was the closing keynote on the speaker day at UXLx 2016. Alan, the creator of visual basic and co-founder of design agency Cooper, hasn’t made so many public appearances in recent years. Instead he’s been concentrating on running Monkey Ranch – his farmstead in the hills of Petaluma, California.

Alan says that it’s clear that we (as designers) have more power than we realise. We can change the world for the better. Read More
