I'm Derek. A Staff Product Designer who ships human-first, AI-driven products.

The work is only as good as the thinking behind it.

I care about the person on the other end of every product decision. That's been true whether I was creating an easier way to book a vacation rental, track an order, find the right vaccine, or get food to their car door faster. Ten years in, that hasn't changed — what has is the toolkit. Now AI is part of how I build, not just what I build on top of.

When I'm not designing, I'm fly fishing, snowboarding, traveling, DJing, or spending time with family.
