"Derrick is the producer you never knew you needed but don't know how you lived without! His attention to detail, the care he takes in understanding context, mission, purpose and end goals is second to none. Always going above and beyond his scope to make sure the quality of his work supersedes your expectations. Thank you Derrick! The team at Finding Sanctuary feel honoured and privileged to have you such a central part of our podcast!"
"Launching a podcast is one thing. Launching well is another. Build Beautiful wouldn't have been possible without Derrick. He brought clarity, structure, and technical excellence to the entire process, but more importantly, he understood the vision and helped me bring it to life. Derrick is the kind of producer who makes you feel confident, supported, and focused on what matters most — the conversation. Thanks to Derrick's support, Build Beautiful launched with impact and professionalism, and I felt confident stepping into the role of host. I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a podcast producer who combines skill with integrity and heart."
"Derrick is an artist! His creativity and insight in all aspects on my podcast are invaluable. I love working with such a professional."
"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Derrick at Hope 103.2 and more recently on my kids' podcast, Ally & Mates. When this project was just a thought exercise, Derrick brought it to life with sound, creativity, and exceptional production values. He is not only highly skilled but also a joy to collaborate with — supportive, full of integrity, and someone who takes direction brilliantly while also being able to create from a completely blank canvas. If I were launching a new podcast tomorrow, Derrick would be my first call."
"Derrick knows how to make audio pop. His excellent production lifts a good story to make it infinitely more listenable. He combines creativity with the technical know-how to produce seamless storytelling. He's also easy to work with, respectful and responsive to feedback and able to bring out the best in talent. Derrick's work is always reliably high quality."
"Add cutting edge technical know-how to creative insight and you have world-class production values with that X factor of knowing how to communicate emotionally and effectively with an audience. Dezzle is the safest pair of hands and wisest head you could ever have on your team and the nicest, funniest, most down to earth mentor as well. Don't hire him — we want to keep him all to ourselves at 'She Wasn't Born Yesterday'!!! Highly hugely recommend!!!"
"Feel Good Financial Planning had the pleasure of working with Derrick earlier this year when we engaged him for a day of filming social media content. Derrick was extremely professional, organised, and brought a wealth of experience to the table. He came fully prepared with all the equipment needed, made the filming process smooth and enjoyable, and afterwards worked his magic to create a fantastic series of social media reels for our practice. Derrick has an eye for detail and a creative approach that really elevated our content. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality video production and social media content creation."
"Working with Derrick across two podcasts throughout my time at Hope Media was one of the biggest blessings of my career. His professionalism, punctuality, attention to detail and care for each episode made the end product shine! He truly cares for not only the podcasts but the team behind it, and works closely with hosts and producers to execute their vision. I can't recommend Derrick highly enough!"
"Derrick has been the perfect partner for our Alumni podcast — Exceptional. His production of social reels and audio has elevated the offering to the Santa Sabina College Alumni community. As an active listener, the audience is at the heart of everything he does. Instinctively he offers insight to evoke emotion and storytelling — a valuable asset when 'in' the moment. Both supportive and nurturing in style, he would be the perfect partner to anyone wanting to either start a podcast or to bring heart to an existing one."
"I had the pleasure of working with Derrick when launching my podcast, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He has an incredible depth of knowledge in podcasting and audio engineering, and he made the whole process so much smoother. Derrick created a custom template, fixed technical glitches, and even produced the theme music and sound effects. He's extremely generous with his time and expertise, and his patience makes him an excellent tutor for anyone wanting to learn audio editing, even complete newbies like me!"
"Working with Derrick has been a great introduction to podcasting, for a newbie like me! He has seamlessly and professionally shown me the ropes for our podcast, giving me tips, guidance and handling all my questions and issues with patience and grace. He has provided valuable insights on our podcast, sharing ideas, strategy, and helping us refine and improve it. He has helped introduce ways to measure the success and reach of our podcast and has helped us to grow with each season! A consummate professional as quick with a smile and encouragement as he is with tips and tricks to help our podcast be better!"
