Instructor's Courses

Hello! My name is Derrick, and I’m so stoked to be teaching here on Skillshare!

Are you interested in making a living in the creative arts industry as a graphic designer, freelancer, videographer, photographer, or web developer?

If yes, then be sure to join me in these courses here on Skillshare as I show you what it’s like to be a graphic designer and make a living doing something that you love!

I will help you master the skills you need to become successful. I’ll show all of my processes so you can accelerate your success, while also learning from my mistakes so you don’t have to repeat them yourself and fall into the same traps that I did.

I have spent my entire career in the creative arts and marketing sector. I had the opportunity to work with brands such as MTV, Nintendo, and Netflix while employed as an intern for Seven 2 Interactive, which definitely set the trajectory for my design career. In 2008, I and my wife opened a small graphic design and marketing agency in Montana - we spent the next decade creating websites, logos, and more for clients all over the world.

I have been the creative director for major international brands and recently made a career pivot to include online teaching. I LOVE helping students realize their full potential while turning their interests and passions into strong skillsets and careers. From hand-illustrating logos to creating websites for global brands, I know what it takes to succeed as a graphic designer, a freelancer, and a business owner, and am so excited to teach others about the same things!

I live in Montana with my wife, my four daughters, my son, and our family's two dogs. When I find a free moment, I enjoy paddleboarding, mountain biking, snowboarding, and making GoPro videos with my kids.

I absolutely love getting to share design and life with my students. Hopefully I’ll see you in one of my classes soon!
