Behind the work
A designer with
a moving imagination.
I’m Derek, a Seattle-based designer working across graphic design, illustration, motion, and UX/UI.
My work connects visual storytelling with clear communication, whether I’m explaining a technical system, shaping an interface, or bringing a character to life.
Nutrition Optimizer brings these disciplines together through UX strategy, interface design, illustration, and motion. I created it as my final project in the UW UX & Visual Interface Design program.
