You could hire Derek Walker for his amazing technical skills - video editing, scripting, photography, design, social media, and digital communication. But what really sets him apart is the kindness and creativity he brings to his work. Nervous interview subject who freezes when a camera is pointed her direction? Derek somehow gets her laughing, then sharing heartfelt stories that become the heart of the video. Complex concept? Derek can write a script, envision the graphics, and find the right voiceover to tell the story. As Derek's former supervisor, I know that any project I gave Derek would be completed well, on budget, and on time. He knows when to seek collaboration and how to manage projects independently. Derek has earned multiple National Council of Marketing and Communications (NCMPR) awards for District 7, which includes community colleges in five states and half of Canada, for his videography and photography. Derek’s work is the cornerstone of all EvCC ad campaigns (digital ads and videos), program-specific marketing, Student Spotlight stories, EvCC Foundation fundraising, Outreach materials (especially college brochures and viewbook), social media, and visual content on the college’s website. Often, Derek’s photos and videos are the first way prospective students and supporters are introduced to Everett Community College. Derek works directly with departments, programs, and services across campus. For example, he worked with IT, Enrollment Services, and Instruction to create a series of videos about how to use ctcLink. Creating these videos required working with stakeholders who each had different pieces of information and little direct experience with using the system as a student. Derek learned how to navigate ctcLink as a student, using that knowledge to create a series of ctcLink instructional videos instrumental in the launch of the new system. For each step along the way – script, design, editing – Derek checked in with the stakeholders and worked with them to answer questions and clarify the information. Derek’s videos have been used by hundreds of students and employees. Derek also took over responsibility for EvCC’s social media channels in the middle of the pandemic - a time when digital communication was essential for keeping students, faculty, and staff connected and engaged. Derek independently handles social media coordination, posts daily, and juggles the schedule to ensure high-priority messages get out and requests from departments and programs are fulfilled. He’s overseen impressive growth. Overall, Derek is an experienced professional who is wonderful to work with!

I always enjoy working with Derek. He brings a critical eye and a lot of creativity and common sense to the video production process. Derek can deliver a massive amount of high quality work under tight deadlines and in unfamiliar working environments.
