Sheriffderek Consulting

It’s almost half way though 2024!? I'm still consulting via Perpetual Education in addition to areas in the design/dev education space.

As a designer/developer/product designer: I provide a thoughtful approach to your goals. Research, content strategy, user-testing, UX, layouts, UI, design patterns, live style-guides, system architecture, cms, team building, brochures, content portals, applications, and whatever other buzzwords you can muster up.

(It’s all really just Design)

Got a project in mind, let’s talk about it.

I enjoy a lean and iterative design process. So, if you're just getting started - that’s when I can be the most effective.

Would you like to be friends?

  1. I don't want to live in the metaverse. I much prefer real life.
  2. If you'd like to talk with me face to face, well, I live in South Pasadena (Los Angeles, CA). Let's grab a drink! And you can find me at many of the local dev and design meetups.
  3. You can email me derek@sheriffderek.consulting
  4. I am @sheriffderek in web-related social arenas. My real name is Derek Wood. You can call me Derek or Sheriff.
  5. If you don't live in LA, just schedule a virtual meeting to talk about your project or get career advice, portfolio review, or help choosing educational options.
  6. Are you a developer? I really like CSS. If you are trying to learn, (we're always learning...) join us on the CSS Discord. From there - there are also links to many other servers for the various languages.
  7. I also write about design and CSS all over the place. For example, you can read my article On Type Patterns and Style Guides over at CSS-Tricks.
  8. As of mid 2024: In addition to PE duties, I'm also now available via Mentor Cruise.

Join the Design/Conversations newsletter to hear about what I’m thinking. 🤠

You can watch some videos I've made on YouTube.

If you really want to... you can connect on X or LinkedIn, but I don't put any time into those platforms. If you really want to help me out, then come back me up on Reddit. These trolls are out of their minds.
