About Me
Great, you made it this far. I'm Derek Crawford, a designer out of Alabama, currently working as a Drafting Instructor by day and a Freelance Designer by night. When I'm not motivating students to perform their best in the field of architecture and mechanical drafting I'm continually working on mastering my craft in graphic design. I love creating art ever since I was a kid competing with my cousins to draw the better stick figure to show our granny. I would continue with verbiage about my schooling, skill set, and other shenanigans, however, I think pictures will be more entertaining.

ABOUT ME


I know design portfolios are supposed to be engaging & hella' pretentious but that's not really me. What I am is a hard working guy who's trying to make it in a small market. I'm Derek Crawford, a designer out of Alabama, currently working as an technical instructor and freelancer. I have a background in architectural drafting/design and graphic design. I also have some experience in mechanical drafting as well. I'm continually working on mastering my crafts and I am open to any opportunity to display my talents and learn. I would continue with verbiage about my schooling and skill set, however, I believe visuals are more impactful so more info about me is below. I love helping people, businesses, and organizations achieve their design goals, so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
