Derek is ready for their next project!

I’m a UX leader with deep experience across design, research, and product strategy, focused on solving complex problems where clarity, alignment, and long-term thinking matter. My work spans two decades across consumer, B2B, and internal platforms. With formal business training and hands‑on experience leading and partnering with product, engineering, and marketing teams, I help organizations translate complexity into decisions they can stand behind. I’ve spent my career working on products where decisions are rarely clean, requirements evolve, and tradeoffs have real consequences.
