Ultimate Problem solver -From Puppet Maker to UX Designer
Derek's pitch...
I am a creative designer with 15 years of User Centered Design and product creation experience. As a lead mechanic for Michael Curry, we took an agile workflow approach to product design, working in teams and collaborating to create one-of-a-kind products. Improvements to product performance and ergonomics were made based on testing, user feedback and observation.
I believe the design principles that I mastered in the entertainment industry can be directly applied to the field of UX Design and product creation in any industry, whether that exist in the digital realm or be elements used in a stage production.
I continue to design innovative products as a freelance Creative Consultant, along with working towards my UX Design certification and expanding my digital skillset. I hold myself to the highest moral and ethical standards and I am in search of a workplace culture that shares these core values.
