Senior Designer @Workday
Chapter President @AIGA Chicago
My name is Derek Desormeaux, and I am a Senior Designer with seven years of industry experience. I focus on design strategy, motion graphics, and digital campaigns. My goal is to lead teams and drive strategic, high-quality work that makes an impact.
The perspective I bring to my work and to any team I join is that many brands look polished and safe; the ones that stand out make people feel something. No one wants to experience something without joy or whimsy, and the best brands build on that connection.

I also serve as the current Chapter President for AIGA Chicago, where I have directed on average 38 annual events serving 1,000+ designers fellow creatives. For nearly four years, I’ve had the privilege of helping designers launch their careers, evolve their skills, and build a supportive sub-community within AIGA Chicago.

Before becoming a designer, I spent years as a fine artist, and I still enjoy creating art for my personal Instagram. It's a space where I started celebrating my love for cute art, Shibas, and Sanrio. This outlet has given me the chance to experiment, refine my skills, and push the boundaries of the tools I use.
