This is Me
I’m Derek van Klaveren and I was adopted from Kazakhstan by my loving family that offered me a chance at life. I was raised and lived in San Jose, California all my life. The best and favorite thing about living in California is being able to go the beach. My heart will always gravitate to the California coast.
I graduated from the University of Oregon. I majored in advertising with a minor in global studies. The hobbies that I enjoy is cooking, baking, drawing, glass mosaics, video games and photography. I’m a creative person through n' through and eager to learn. In the future, I hope to take my creativity to the next level and challenge myself to create meaningful and unique pieces of work.
