Hi, I’m Derek “DVG” Vander Griend, a creative & design director based in Los Angeles, CA, with in-house & agency experience across Netflix, Logitech, adidas, Anomaly, & 72andSunny.
theywalkamongus® is fueled by a lifelong obsession with the visual gems hidden in everyday life: old signage, found graphics, bootleg tees, horror films, and the strange magic of forgotten things. It started as a gamer tag, but grew into a creative philosophy. Every day, inspiration is hiding in plain sight.
I turn that lens into vivid creative direction, design systems, and visual worlds that break into culture.
