Derek Tucker is an Industrial Designer from Auburn University’s Industrial Design Class of 2021.

Throughout his undergrad studies, Derek has worked in corporate studios with Smucker's, HP, and Aptar CSP Technologies. These experiences led him to be interested in healthcare, where he will spend the next year as an Industrial Design and UX Intern at Medtronic. In addition to honing his design skills, Derek enjoys other hobbies like playing tennis, listening to music, weightlifting, drone flying, chess, and photography.

For 60 years, the Industrial Designers Society of America has worked to advance the practice of industrial design through education, information, community, and advocacy. Our roots stretch to the beginning of the profession, and our members are, and have been, some of the most celebrated industrial designers of all time. Today, we exist as a global voice for industrial design within a broad ecosystem of design disciplines and we celebrate the cross-functional overlap of many creative fields.
