My name’s Derek. I’m a copywriter, content creator, & strategist. I also help brands hone their online presences.
let's grab a coffee!
Check out my portfolio for examples of my short and long-form work.
Check out this Instagram museum’s account that I helped strategise & build from the ground up.
I consult with agencies to develop creative and communicative English translations of Dutch advertising copy.
I work with teams to help them workshop and recalibrate brand identity.
I was raised in Chicago and have lived on Vancouver Island, in Amsterdam, & London. I have a B.A. and MSt in English from the University of Oxford.
In my career as a copywriter and content creative, I’ve worked with big brands and new businesses alike.
I’m comfortable wearing many hats on a small project, or hitting the ground running within established teams.
I’m also an actor and comedy writer, and I draw from those skillsets when pursuing creative solutions.
