My name is Derric, a 22-year-old artist driven by the power of storytelling. Born in the quiet rhythms of Oklahoma and raised under the vibrant skies of Southern California, I have always carried a deep curiosity for the world around me. From neighborhood streets to faraway places, my journey has been marked by the beauty of diversity and the many creative styles I’ve encountered along the way.

With camera in hand, I strive to capture more than just images — I seek to freeze emotions, narrate untold stories, and create moments that resonate. Sports, music, and everyday life all serve as my muses, each helping me weave visual stories that speak without words.

I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Northern Colorado and am currently pursuing my master's, continuing to learn, explore, and refine my craft. Through my lens, I aim to show that art is everywhere — in movement, in sound, and in stillness — waiting to be seen, heard, and felt.
