Portrait of Joes Koppers

Early days

While studying Graphic Design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy — in the early days of the www — I quickly grew a fascination for digital media, introducing endless possibilities of communicating with a user.

In those years I designed an adaptive browser concept, which won an international award and kickstarted my career as independent designer/developer.

While working with pioneering places like VPRO digitaal and Waag Society and getting a Master at Sandberg Instituut, I founded USE.media as a place to collaborate and discover.

The following years I was creating experimental websites, looking for the edge of technical possibilities, exploring interactive video projections and designing immersive touchscreen experiences. At the same time I worked with commercial clients to prototype new online ideas for them and create friendly user interfaces.

Today

I’ve become a specialist in designing for complex online applications, am a skilled javascript developer and am still on the look out for new technical possibilities and devices.

I’m involved in a couple of startups, like helping to shape a digital product as part of a team, or operate as an independent small studio to create webapps with help of talented professionals in my network if needed.

I live and work in Amsterdam, have a family with two young daughters, enjoy renovating and designing our historic house and keep at least one day in the workweek free to raise the girls.
