ABOUT ME

THINK FIRST, 
DESIGN SECOND.

Nebrasaka State capital, edited with film overlay.

I'm Derek Wilson, a creative interested in

the space where strategy meets design.

​​

I like figuring out what makes a brand meaningful —

the personality, audience, story and purpose — and 

turning that thinking into creative work people can

see, experience, and connect with.

 

Currently, I'm studying Advertising & Public Relations

at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln while building

experience across design, photography, video,

motion and digital content. 

BASED IN LINCOLN, NE
