About me

Hi there, I’m Derek. I’m a Product Designer currently working at Netflix. I’m passionate about discovering, understanding, and solving problems.

I originally hail from a small, lakeside town in Ohio1, but I currently live in Cleveland with my wife and son. I’ve also lived in Arizona, California2, Tokyo3, and Mumbai4.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, working on our home, traveling to far and distant places (I’ve been to 35 countries and counting), building Lego, and Cleveland sports (I’m a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Browns).
