Cooper's interest in design and creativity started from a young age. [4] When speaking with Esquire , he cited schooling and his family as impacting the way he viewed creativity; "I knew I wanted to make stuff. I didn't know it would be clothes, but in the regular education system you're not really taught that you can just go make stuff regardless of what it is. I always had a fascination with how things are made through spending a lot of time with my grandfather when I was younger. He made everything that they need at the house.” [4]
