Summary
👤
SeniorDerek Wood is a product designer and education consultant with 15 years of full-stack design and development experience, who builds interfaces and the systems behind them. He founded Perpetual Education, a cross-disciplinary design school he ran for seven years, and has turned it into a mostly self-paced platform while continuing to ship SaaS, e-commerce, and accessibility tooling for clients. Comfortable as a founding designer, fractional design lead, or hands-on contributor, he blends research, UX, visual design, design systems, and front-end engineering (HTML/CSS/JS, Vue/Nuxt) to own products end-to-end. He mentors and scales small teams, prototypes solutions when off-the-shelf tools fall short, and has significant applied AI experience used to pressure-test curriculum and product features. Notably, his pedagogy springs from running daily, practice-driven cohorts and building live code systems and review workflows—so he thinks in systems that teach and ship. Based in South Pasadena, he’s looking for a role where design, engineering, and education intersect to build something that matters.
