Derek Perry
Digital Designer:
Game, Graphic, & Web
I have a fascination for all ideas and artifacts at the
“Intersection of Art and Technology.”
I grew up doing graphic design along with web design. My appreciation for digital design along with my love for video games developed my passion for game design. I think interactive media and game design is the perfect manifestation of my interest in the “Intersection of Art and Technology.”
