About.
Howdy, I'm Derek, a web designer, and developer located in Austin, TX. I have over 15 years of experience with front-end development, web design.
My core development technologies are WordPress, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP. My core design technologies are paper, pen, Figma, Webflow, and the ever-powerful browser-based design.
I believe that good things take time and great things take sacrifice. I also believe that we should try our best to laugh as much as possible.
Process.
As the phrase goes a picture is worth a thousand words. Well if that is true then a video is worth a million words. That’s why I created this short video of my process. Please pop some popcorn and enjoy.
