Born and raised in Colorado, Derrick built a creative path that took him around the world—from years behind the camera as a photographer to leading visual direction across industries as an art director. Along the way, he discovered a deep love for imagery and storytelling while managing an in-house creative studio, where craft, collaboration, and vision came to life.

Today, he runs FAR LAB. A strategy-led creative studio building brands that people feel—and act on. We translate insight into intentional brand systems and campaigns designed to perform in the real world.
