"The visual library is what I’m after. I found out you’re the guy to talk to about this from following the guide mentioned in that Confluence page 😉 Great job BTW!"

Javier O, Netsuite

"Derry is a great person to get feedback on visual design concepts. He reliably offers constructive suggestions that make my designs more robust and better suited to the problem at hand. As the designer in charge of UIF patterns, he is also key to helping me be consistent in my application of UI patterns. As an example, he was very helpful in ensuring my designs for Merchandise Hierarchy met the proper standards for a UIF application. "

Marsh C, Principal Designer, Oracle

"1) Quick turn around of the work 2) Good communication on setting timeline expectations for a task Dashboard: 1) Impressive start on Dashboard Design documentation. Definition of "Design principles" for Next Gen Dashboard with the group would be a great next step"

S Pujari, Oracle Product Manager

"Derry always gives a great input into the newly build UI framework from the designers perspective and is very active on establishing the internal design system the UIF stands on. Derry delivers designs that make the framework cutting-edge also from the visual point of view, and makes it very modern looking, which is one of the most important things that matters for the end user."

D Bambusek, Front end dev

"Derry always comes to the project or a task with big-picture ideas. This is really refreshing because it's so easy to get caught in the details that make something difficult to do. Derry reminds me that we are held to the quality of all web applications and what they are doing, not just what we're doing right now in NetSuite. And he brings that attitude to his work - he's always learning and finding new best practices in design and applies them to what he does every day. This helps to push us all, which is another thing I really appreciate"

T Chapman, Content Strategist

"Derry is always a pleasure to deal with. He brought value to our team by providing us visual designs in a timely manner with a high quality. He also listened to our use cases and we were able to come to compromises to align better with the UI Framework."

M Scriber, UX Designer

"Really skilled and talented UI designer - Envisioning trending solutions - Involved on the project - Has passion for being able to apply his talent - Methodic designer - Provides useful feedback - Great asset on the UI team everyone is willing to work with a talented designer like him."

M Verdera, UX Design

"Derry is always looking further than what is asked of him, and he's very organized. I've always been impressed by how detailed and clear all the pages he works on Confluence are. He's also always willing to help others.I don't see anything to change, Derry is involved and consistent and I think he deserves to be recognized for this."

M Ruprecht, Product Manager

"Derry has taken on a lot of work over the course of this year. He has been involved in multiple projects because we’ve been under resourced. He has taken on these new projects without hesitation to help the team and company. Derry has done a great job documenting his tools and resources that he has made available to the visual design team. This is a lot of work that was done from both the Visual System as well as the Design System."

C Mueller, XD Manager
