STAR WARS CONNOISSEUR
Hi! I’m Derek.
I’m a graphic designer and creative lead based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I love bringing ideas to life in ways that truly connect with people. For me, design isn’t just about making things look good; it’s about telling stories and solving real problems.
I’m passionate about creating an environment where everyone feels supported to do their best work. I thrive on collaborating, pushing ideas further, and finding ways to create designs that are both interesting and effective for the team and the brand.
My work spans a little bit of everything.
From building bold brand identities and
creating playful illustrations to producing thoughtful fine art pieces and clean, effective design solutions. Whether it’s crafting a full brand system, designing campaign graphics,
or bringing a fun character to life, I love exploring different styles and mediums to tell stories that connect with people. No matter the project, I focus on creating work that feels intentional, clear, and full of personality.
