About

Hey, I’m Derek — a designer exploring the foundation and boundaries of human-machine experiential interaction. I focus on designing for accessibility and inclusivity.

I’m also interested in what pure story-telling looks like through still and motion photography, as well as musical composition.

When I’m not designing, I’m likely traveling, finding good food or enjoying silence in nature.
