ABOUT

My name is Derek Whiting. I’m a graphic designer currently based in Asheville, North Carolina. I grew up in the desert of the Southwest, and am fascinated by my new surroundings in America's temperate rainforest.

​

My biggest passion is for storytelling. I believe that our biggest power as humans is in the stories that we tell, both to others and to ourselves. I aim to use design to help people tell their stories in the most effective way possible.
