His multi-disciplinary professional practice includes scenic and production set design, together with spatial and events design. Additionally, he explores Creative Practices in Social Work, particularly for displaced or deprived children and teenagers. Some past projects include a film production with young refugees in London, and an art and craft exhibition for displaced children in Kenya.

Working closely with the producers, Deric and the design team created back stories, immersive scare zones and ‘haunted’ environments.
