Colleagues describe him as "I love working with Derek. He created a new standard in my mind for UX leaders. He's passionate, imaginative, and he takes a systematic approach to everything he does. You can always count on him to get projects across the finish line. He's also empathetic and fun to work with, while still being pragmatic and driving material changes at a variety of altitudes within the organization. He'd be a great addition to any team that cares about strategic focus, tactical prioritization, and building quality products." and "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't appreciate the work that Derek did on the design system at Teladoc. The thoughtfulness and thoroughness of the system shows through with every challenge we throw at it. The work that Derek did is at the very front edge of design system work; from Figma to design tokens to framework code assets, his work has saved time and energy across the design team. Any firm would be lucky to have Derek and I miss his insight, patience and zen like calmness. On a personal level, Derek spent far more time than he had to introducing me to the approaches and methodologies to build a design system that wasn't just for designers, but for developers and end users. I don't know that I'll ever be able to repay his work other than to pay it forward."
