A Single Source of Data, Multiple Views

Assortify provides a single source of truth for attribute management and product creation. Merchants can interact with their data in multiple views including a robust table view, an interactive grid view, and visual canvas - think “miro, but for jeans”.

“Derek’s ability to adapt and deliver makes him a fantastic addition to any team.”

"Derek is phenomenal at managing complex and high-stake communications."

Design System

I also maintain Garments, a Design System and Figma component library of over 150 highly customizable design components and patterns. Obsessing over component parameters in Figma is my guilty pleasure.

Continuous Product Discovery

One of the benefits of working on an internal application is easy assess to your user base. I run biweekly user engagement sessions with our global team of users to gather insights, validate assumptions, and perform user testing on prototypes and in-process features.
