Hi, I’m Derek, a Nashville-based graphic designer and leader with 10+ years of experience

Over the past decade, I have successfully launched brands, cultivated dynamic creative teams, and designed and executed impactful paid media campaigns, all driven by a commitment to innovation and the achievement of strategic business objectives. My results-oriented approach, paired with compassionate and empathetic leadership, empowers designers to become more confident and excel in their roles.

As a strategic thinker, I approach brands and projects with a broad, visionary perspective, while also being hands-on and detail-oriented when necessary. I embrace change and continuously challenge myself and my team to seek out opportunities for process improvement and organizational enhancement, collaborating to build effective solutions.

Outside of work, I try to get outdoors with my pup June as much as possible. Clearly, I like to casually stare longingly out at beautiful landscapes any time my camera is around. And usually have a meager yearly book goal I’m chasing.
