Jonny White, PhD

I had the pleasure of supervising Derek’s internship at Trees.app where he used his creativity and animation skills to produce content for our website and sales efforts. Derek quickly impressed me with his ability to iterate upon his animations and produce better and better deliverables each week. He frequently requested feedback and did a great job adjusting his work to meet our needs. Ultimately, the animations Derek created explained our complex product beautifully and have received positive feedback from our team and advisors. Overall, Derek was a solid contributor and I recommend him without hesitation.
