Derek was a linchpin in Driveway's launch in late 2020 and substantial growth in the years that followed. I cannot recommend Derek highly enough. He truly is a design unicorn: with a background in web development, he has some of the strongest end-to-end product design skills, Figma prowess, and UI craft that I've seen amongst my peers. Couple his high bar for quality with kindness, thoughtfulness, and a humility in coaching others—Derek is the kind of hands-on designer and design leader that any startup would be remiss to pass over.
