Hi, I'm Derek — UX designer, researcher, and strategist. Trained in anthropology and driven to create transformative experiences.

I'm a designer with roots in the social sciences—an anthropologist by training who found a natural home in UX and product strategy. I believe good work requires understanding people deeply: their contexts, motivations, and unspoken needs. My practice moves fluidly between research, design, and business thinking, seeking after what's both meaningful and well-made.
