Derek Haffar

Profile

I am an avid and traditional maker and designer with degrees in sculpture, drawing and painting. Making and teaching making and project managment skills have been the center of my professional life. I have spent considerable time over seas, primarily in North Africa, Europe and the Middle East as well as the east coast of Canada. Working as a fabricator for established artists Mathew Barney, Red Grooms and Tom Otterness hardened my making skills early as a professional fabricator. Working for the non profit Wildlife Conservation Society later taught me how to use those hard skills for softer purposes.I have been at Parson now for 10 years!
