WHAT I CAN DO

COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGES

​Picture these as digital creations, born not from a human hand, but from computer programs using specialized software to generate a range of visuals, from simple shapes to complex, detailed scenarios.

REALTIME RENDERING

The process of generating and displaying visuals instantly as they're created or modified. Used in video games, VR, AR, and simulations, it allows for immediate visualization, enabling faster iterations and a more dynamic creative process.

DIGITAL 
ART

Consider digital art as visuals created on an electronic platform. Instead of brushes and canvases, digital tools and software to create everything from basic designs to intricate to editing photographs.

DIGITAL 
FABRICATION

Envision a dance between physical materials and designed machines, where computer software choreographs every move, instructing machinery to sculpt or construct objects, from simple shapes to the most complex designs.

SCRIPTING

Understand coding as the language of computer instruction, where humans craft commands that computers follow. Just like an author pens a story, coders write scripts, ranging from simple tasks to intricate algorithms, that dictate the actions a computer takes.

HARDWARE

I specialize in hardware platforms that bridge the gap between digital designs and physical creations. I utilize many different tools to prototype, craft, and produce with precision. At the core of my workflow, I manage a server that ensures seamless integration between devices, securely managing on-site data, enabling efficient asset organization, and providing off-site data access.

ABOUT ME

MY ARTISTIC JOURNEY

My name is Derek and I am an artist. My journey began back in 2010 following high school, when I decided to pursue a higher education in Media Arts and Animation. 

The early stages of my career started in college when I interned at a couple local studios in the Minneapolis Area. Among the most memorable of the projects during this period was my contribution to a team that created the Imax film "Space Next".

​

Post-graduation I entered the freelance arena, offering a wide array of services. My portfolio then included graphic/web design, video projection, and animation. Ultimately all of this led me to forge a new decade-long journey in Digital Content Creation. 

Lately the only question I've found that is worth answering is "How will you serve the world, what do they need that your services can provide?"
