Bio
Eamonn Fallon
I was lucky enough to work with Derek twice in my career - once in my first job after college and once in the startup I co-founded. He is probably the most talented designer I have ever worked with and will add a lot of value to anything he gets involved in.

I’ve known Derek for many years, recruited him to iQ Content, and worked directly with him there on many projects. Derek is a brilliant designer - among the very best I’ve ever worked with. He’s a creative powerhouse: a brilliant digital designer, but also really strong on brand, packaging and even physical stuff (little known fact: he designed the first Golden Spider) . He has a great eye & style; a zen aesthetic; he’s fast; he understands business and technology; and he’s great to work with. Derek was deeply involved in much of the very best work that we did at iQ Content - for Vodafone, Citibank and Goodyear. I can’t recommend Derek highly enough: if you get the chance to work with him - jump at it.

Derek is the most talented designer I've worked with in the course of my career. I won't say more on this because his work speaks for itself. What isn't clear from his work, though, is that he's one of those rare designers who can explain his designs to clients in a way that's meaningful to them. He makes clients feel smarter and better informed, so they make better decisions about design work. Best of all, it's always fun to be around Derek, it's a pleasure to know him and to work with him.
