Hello there, I'm Derek (click).

Full name: Derek Jensen
Residence: Ames, IA
Obsession: Cool Ts & brand identity thought

If you want to learn the basics about me such as my educational background, check my resume or my LinkedIn profile.

If you want to figure out what makes me stay up late and want to work consider visiting my company called Resimplify, my blog focused on society & technology called Love Curiosity, the Iowa State Daily, and my Pen page where I write about my values.

I can be a bit confusing, my personality can be a bit different, and I tend to always speak the truth of what I think or believe. It's how I'm wired. That's who I am.

I enjoy creation, therefore here are current/past (no links) projects...

Resimplify, Two Sentences, Love Curiosity, UniqueBlog, ReworkingToday, Scio7, SightSeat, LifeNotion, Influlive, LifeNotion Media, FeedMe! Post, Unsketched, New Sketch Planning, Notion Up, Uttermag, Cogitav, Reason Books, Oh IMOO!, Everyday PhotoBooth, FBGB, RntTch, TechMediaGuide, SW Lemonade, Addison's Post, UnCrumpled Paper and some other domains...

Interested in what some of these or one of these projects was about? You can email me.

Some other tidbits about me include my go-to music being: Incubus, Foster the People, OneRepublic, Linkin Park, Tycho, Wye Oak, Mashups, Techno, and Rihanna. I also enjoy watching Mad Men, The Big Bang Theory, and Family Guy. Lastly, I'm a Packers fan, but don't get too much into sports.

I'm inspired by: Kevin Rose, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Daniel Burka, Drew Wilson, Dave Morin, Merlin Mann, Gary Vaynerchuk, Seth Godin, Joshua Toploksy, John Gruber, Ben Milne, Corbett Barr, George Watsky, & Jimmy Fallon.

Not mentioned are anyone else I've connected with whether that was for two minutes of a conversation that is still going on.
